Stolen treestand ladder.

[D-Rock425]

Went over today to our elk hunting area snuck in to check the camera st my treestand and two 4ft sections of my ladder are gone .  Guess I'm lucky stand is is still there and my trail cam.  I got over 2800 pics on the camera since memorial day weekend but to people.  Camera doesn't face the treestand

Sorry to hear.  These might help you salvage that site with less than a full complement of sticks.

Only got a picture of somebody's arm but I did get a picture of there dog about a minute later.

This part of the reason I used the screw in steps. They aren't as user friendly, but they can be removed on your way down and twisted back in on your way back up. Keeps people from messing with what isn't theirs.

Sorry you got ripped off, it sucks that you can't trust anyone to mind their own business these days. I hate the idea that everything has to be locked down to keep it from wandering off.

[bracer40]

That sucks! I set a couple a few weeks ago and locked em down. Hope they're still there!

*censored* bags!

[TrailTreker85]

Sorry to hear that. Hope they break a leg and you have an epic hunting season.

[Elkrunner]

D-rock.  Are you sure it wasn't a hunting buddy.  With all the short jokes that you get razzed about.  I would think 2 steps would be just outside your climbing range...

[D-Rock425]

Oh we got a funny guy here.

[Elkrunner]

At least I didn't bust out the leprechaun reference...LOL

Good luck this week.  As always I am will look forward to the annual drock tagged out thread

It's a hard life but somebody's got to do it.

Screw ins are illegal on most public lands since they technically "damage" the tree.

It's a different offense for each agency (WDFW, DNR, USFS, etc) so no it is not in the regs. You have to look at land use regs for the lands you are hunting on. Most people don't know you cant dig pit blinds for waterfowl hunting on WDFW lands either.

Essentially all public lands. You can't damage trees, brush, etc on public lands. Doesn't matter if its WDFW, DNR, USFS, USFWS, BLM, etc. By screwing them in you re technically damaging the tree. I know guys who were cited for breaking small branches off to install their tree stand. So any "damage" is illegal.

Here is the reg for WDFW lands:
WAC 232-13-120
(1)(a) It is unlawful to dig pits for the purpose of hunting waterfowl, or to cut trees or attach artificial fasteners (such as wire, staples or nails) to trees for the construction of camps, blinds and tree stands on department lands.
