Locking up tree stands?

[JHarrell89]

I was joking. I did however used to take the seat off my tripod on one of my leases when I left. There was a guy on the lease the tended to wander when nobody else was there. He would never put any corn in his feeder but the first time you weren't around he would hunt yours.

I hear that. I have never met any of the other guys on this lease yet but i hear they are a close knit group and don't mind the rest of the community using each other's stuff. Hopefully i heard right!

Nice fish by the way!. U hunt in nac? Me too

Sure do. Thanks on the fish. its not a monster but for the pond it was taken in, its one of the bigger ones. and of course the camera angle helped too.

Buy cheap stands and don't worry about it. If they want it bad enough they will take it no matter what you do. If you use a heavy duty chain they will just cut the tree and take the stand and your chain.

I guess that's east texas.

Just take the bottom section of your climbing sticks when you leave.

I did this and they still took my chain-on and the 3 other sticks....lol

Guess they needed them worse than me.

Oh well back to my trusty climber I go!!

I bought a coated braided cable and master lock about 10' in length, got such a long one to run through arm rails, over seat etc so it cant be manipulated. I'm on a private lease and its a **** shame, but people on our lease I'd busted by showing up without calling and finding their articles on my stand. Funny thing, nobody would ever fess up.

it was still there, thankfully. i disguised the trailhead from the road and locked her up nice and tight.
