What would be just absolutely hilarious, is seeing the guy sitting up in that stand, when the game warden comes driving up. The list of tickets he would get would look like a grocery list.

I'm not trying to be a wise arse, I'm just curious to what laws are being broken because I cant think of any. I'm not sure but wouldn't the power company have to file trespassing, not the game warden. As least it is facing away from the fence line. If someone crossed my fence and put a stand on a power pole on my property, I would take it down and keep it until they came and asked for it.

I'm gonna bet the OP knows his fences if he mentions it in his post specifically.

Down in that area, the county roads, are typically just trails, like the typical roads on the ranches. The only roads that are road base, are the roads going out to wells. So since I don't see any road base in that picture. I would assume the person who took the picture is not going out to a well. But from what I read, the person who took the picture, does not know who put up that stand. So it's most likely not on land he is has permission to hunt, such as a lease, or not his property. So I would assume he is driving a county road, which would mean that stand was put up on the side of a county road, outside of someone's ranch, facing towards that ranch. If I am right on that one, the land owner would most likely have a cow. If I am correct, the game warden would have a few tickets waiting for the guy.
Now, there are places, where there are roads, through other ranches, that are right of ways. They are not county owned roads, they are just typical ranch roads. That could be what is going on there. The guy who took the picture could be on a ranch road, that is a right of way, on his way to a ranch that he is leasing or owns.
But the info on where exactly the picture was taken, was not given, so you can only guess, at the exact situation. My first guess, would be an out of state hunter, who lives somewhere, where most of the land is public and that person, has on many occasions just set up a stand, near a rig that he worked on. And when not working, went hunting. If that is the case, right off, he would be poaching, tress passing, then likely hunting from a public road. Just seeing the picture, that would be my first thoughts, but I really don't know the story.

Hard to tell but it looks like the pole is on the opposite side of the fence from where pic was taken.
Never herd of power company making a big fuss about climbing a pole but I am sure it is their property and the liability issue alone would be a concern to them. Also probably not the best thing to hang a stand from

I don’t know about the legal side, but as a land owner I know I get pretty unhappy about people right on my fence line. I know all my neighbors and we talk about stand locations and shooting lanes for the sake of safety. We have lease guys on our back fence and I can reach over and touch one of their feeders. We keep a roll of toilet paper in a zip lock up there so about every 2 weeks someone goes up there and s...s about 6 feet from that feeder.
We have dumped a couple of hogs up there as well
