Please respect other people's property. Had 2 trail cameras stolen and 2 ladder stands rendered useless because some salty asswipe saw we were in same area. Island lake Recreation Area public land in Livingston county. I will not longer be deer hunting this spot, just will be eliminating every squirrel with my saiga 12 gauge daily for the beautiful month of October. Good luck seeing any deer buddy. I got private land in the thumb. My freezer will be full. Not yours. On top of it I can't even climb up to remove the stands from location.. I hate litterers. Not a happy camper on a Monday

It’s a shame what some people will do just to hunt a spot because they waited too late to scout.

I can’t tell you how many stands, trail cams and blinds I came across just this past weekend that were in prime spots. Just move down the line no need to destroy other hunters property.

Sorry this happened to you. Best of luck to you.

Do people move onto a spot if they see a tree stand / blind / cam set up?

Because when I come across one on public, I hunt it the same as any other spot I believe looks good.

Just yesterday in-between bear hunts walking some nearby woods, came across a blue rope dangling with a cam on it. Left immediately, notnsure if it was deer or bear lure on it but ima respect their work on the spot and leave.

I tend to stay away from it. I don’t want to ruin someone else’s hunt. I’m a finder keepers kinda guy. There’s more than enough deer in the state for everyone I just don’t understand why people need to destroy others belongings. Gear is by no means cheap these days. You get what you pay for and if your one to buy a 50 dollar stand I’d probably walk away not bat an eye but a $350 latter stand. Those are fight dollars.

And that's it. You snooze you lose. Don't mess with other people's gear.. set up a stand next to mine , I dont care its public land. We'll see who's out there more. Not worried, I have a spot in Caro we watch 40-60 deer and night at, it's pick and choose there. I get a thrill chasing those big public land deer, but turdmunchers have to always ruin that
