I quit bowhunting because of slob hunters. I've had 6 treestand stolen in eight years. So, I put a junk stand up, on private, posted, property. Then, I tried casting to a nearby pond. I accidently got a few dozen treble hooks looped around branches just below the stand. I left them hanging- accidently. I checked the stand several times. Yesterday, i discovered some poor fool tried to steal the stand. There was blood, broken branches, and even a battery powerd grinder, with a cutting wheel, by the base of the tree. I fear that the thief got hung up on those hooks. Too bad they were attached to 40lb spiderwire. I managed to get the rest of the hooks down, and removed the stand. It's now on a different piece of land, also posted and privately owned. I again tried fishing, but got a bunch of hooks stuck again. I wonder if somebody will try to steal it again.
