Tree stand on DNR land
« on: August 25, 2015, 07:01:05 PM »
We usually hunt private timber land and I have never had a problem with tree stands and people leaving them alone. With the timber company closures this year we've been scouting some DNR land and found a couple spots that look promising . 3 different bucks and a few does on camera . This week end we found 4 spots that I  want to throw up  tree stands on Saturday . We have not seen anyone else on the area but I know that doesn't mean anything come opening day . Have any of you put up tree stands on DNR land and had any problems ?

Careful to not damage tree - frowned upon by DNR and don't be upset if someone is in your stand before you get there.   :twocents:  Good luck hunting.

I had a two person ladder stand on DNR land for about 2 years. One day in the summer I decided to go check on it, and it was gone.

I would do it, but use a climber or hang on and pack sticks out daily.  Make someone work for it if they really want it.  I haven't done it though.  Have thought about it and have a couple spots it would be great in, i would just try to conceal it as well as possible.

I'm sure that's what people say when they recover a deer someone else shot too...

Lol no, just know going in that's the rules, it's in the regs. Pack the stand out with you at night and in in the morning if you want it to yourself .I honestly don't care but if you want to take a stand in to public ground you should know that if you come back and bitch someone is in it you really don't have a leg to stand on. Not even in the same league as tagging someones animal. I'd rather cover ground and still hunt than sit there all day myself.

Lol so short tempered tonight, I don't use tree stands or blinds, if you choose to on public ground realize the risk you take. If I find one I'm not gonna climb in it. But i wouldn't set one up basically looking for a confrontation as you are. Richard move really. Don't use one if you don't want the risk. Like I said its in print you know that BEFORE you choose to put one on public land. I'm not going to knock stand hunters. But you are making it way to easy to do. Hopefully I never run into someone with your mentality in the woods, your correct it wouldn't be pretty. If your going to leave your crap in the woods accept the risk or pack it out with you. I'm not sure how this is a difficult thing to understand ?

its not me its every archer over here I know.....called respect! period. You think I am short tempered? you have no idea who I am .. I am mild mannered compared to some buddies I know who bow hunt and you wouldnt want to sit in their stands.

your the same guy who takes others trail cams just cause they were left on public land?

Wow the accusations, I was just trying to warn you. And no if I didn't bring it I leave it, I don't play with other people's stuff but at the same time if I built a blind I wouldn't cry when someone beat me to it. Like I said hunt how you want. But if you leave it and get beat to it good luck with explaining why you threw a fit when the other guy has the gamies  talking to you. If you can't man up and accept the risk you probably shouldn't be doing it in this state.
