Re: Anyone else hate the new tree stand regulations for public land?
So the rule went into effect after your first year and has been in effect for four of your five years. How can you possibly insinuate that is a new law?
Also do you realize that setting up a stand makes no claim to exclusivity to have not an area. The best way to insure exclusive hunting rights is to buy land.

Re: Anyone else hate the new tree stand regulations for public land?
I'm not the guy that's bothered by people leaving up stands (heck, I do it, and I've changed plans because people have been near my spot before), and the digest specifically mentions what you pointed out.
I only mention the 2015-2016 change as being considered "new" to possibly explain why some here think it's a new thing that you can leave up stands on SGLs (when it's not).

Re: Anyone else hate the new tree stand regulations for public land?
Stands have been allowed to remain throughout the entirety of all deer seasons for as long as I can recall. The only recent change (and it's been years now) is having to use one of the specified methods of identifying your stand. The only reason for this was because of the glut of ladder stands left behind in more populace areas of public land in an attempt to tag a stand to an owner for a potential fine if the stand was left up year round. So effectively nothing has changed other than the remote possibility of a few hunters being contacted by the PGC.
So with that said what's the issue?
Early season is a different type of hunting, but if you are hunting/scouting for rifle season I doubt there are few, if any, locations where ladder stands were drug into woods that I would ever consider hunting. If anything it's a nice flag to stay the hell away, and hunt elsewhere. I doubt if you go even a 1/2 mile in you won't see any, except the odd platform stand, which isn't likely to be used for rifle season.

Re: Anyone else hate the new tree stand regulations for public land?
I deleted my post because it was redundant after U.J. posted the same thing immediately above mine.
I misunderstood your post. Thanks for clarifying.
I can't explain why she wasn't charged with this in the first place. It would have been a simple matter for the Game Commission to refer it to the PSP for criminal investigation. I would have been happy to charge her with it. My best guess is that the WCO was simply being too soft. Personally I see an attempt to falsely incriminate another person to be despicable, worthy of being graded as a felony."It seems that the Constitution is more or less guidelines than actual rules"

Re: Anyone else hate the new tree stand regulations for public land?
We have laws against disrupting hunts and feeding the deer. They charged her with feeding the deer 2nd offense as she had already been warned not to put out corn. There was an issue about trespass since it was on the kids grandfather's land. The last had to do with the a false report. Only time will tell if she really gets burned as it is still being bounced around in the courts.
Damn it at my age you would think that I would know to read ALL of the posts before commenting. Just imagine how much more intelligent I would have looked using Uncle Jumbo's wording.Last edited by phill; November 14th, 2018 at 03:11 PM.

Deer avoid blood... find a fresh road kill and dump some organs at the base of the tree

Re: Anyone else hate the new tree stand regulations for public land?
The public land that I hunt still requires that stands be removed daily. I usually hit it mid week of the first week and have the entire property to myself.

Re: Anyone else hate the new tree stand regulations for public land?
I am no attorney but somebody here may be able to shed some light on this. What if someone comes in my tree stand and falls out and claims that it wasn't put up correctly? My guess is they could sue me. Is this correct? It would be like somebody coming into my yard and breaking their ankle.
