No where in the hunting regs, does it mention anything about your tent, car, truck, fruit of your looms, if you can't read the regulations, and get a basic understanding............no wonder Obummer got elected twice

It's called respecting others property, try it some time!

If some one hangs a stand on public ground, it does NOT become public property.
in the same sense I know of two stands that have been up for atleast 7 years and never used so how does what then is it just a tree decoration I know this cause they are close to my property and have trail cams on them year round.
hey anybody got a towel, i just hit a waterbuffalo

15 Feet high with no ladder, hows one to get up into the tree stand to use it really anyways? I have a ladder post Id use to get up and down, while leaving the stand up there. A person would have to go quite a bit of trouble to get 15 foot up a tree without anything to climb with/on.

I have found a dozen or more permanent stands on USFS land where I hunt. According to federal regulations they are illegal. Permanent stands on other public ground like DNR and WDFW are also illegal. If some one puts up a hang on stand and leaves it up for years with out taking it down, I would think it reasonable to believe that it would be considered permanent, therefore making it illegal.

Went out today to check my cam in the same area I had been looking at since Feb (a clearing with tall grass).  Someone recently took a weed whacker and cleared out about a 300 square foot area, pruned a fir tree for the stand, and put a trail cam up only about 30 feet from my camera.  :'(  Public land can suck at times.

Bummer.... Was your camera real obvious?  Maybe just an honest mistake?  I'm trying to have 2-3 back up spots in case the same thing happens.

I like to think it was an honest mistake, but the clearing he or she did was just feet away from my camera.  Oh well, just one cow pic on it anyways. I went to a different spot after that and got some really good pics of some shooters. I'll load those up tonight and post them.
