I was in until you said no thermacell .... I hunt river bottoms and no thermacell in a loincloth would put bites in places I dont ever want bites.

Went check a acorn tree on my property and found a tree stand on my side already. Oct 1 and it already has started. Wow. So what you are saying is that you have a like new deer stand for sale for $50.

I would never consider hunting a stranger's stand. It's just asking for trouble. For one thing, I have no clue how secure it is, when he might show up, how mad he will or will not be, or if it is a set-up by the DNR to catch people stealing stands. (Yes, they actually do this.) Honestly, if I am going to the trouble of putting up a stand on public ground, I am going to lock it up and make sure no one else can get into for liability reasons, (something like this www.vitalzonehunting.com/-new-2013-sleeved-slide-lock-ladder-tree-stand-lock-brackets) and to protect myself from someone who is malicious. Perhaps there is a chance that it could still get vandalized, or someone would find a way into it, but if I encounter someone hunting in my stand it would be removed that day. I am not going to go through all that work just to let someone else lazier profit from it. Go buy your own stand and hunt from it.

Bottom line is if you hang a stand on public land it is public property. First come first serve.Its like a boat dock,You only own up to the lake shore what you put in the public water is public property. If you build a duck blind in a marsh or lake its public property.1/2 hour before first light, nobody in the stand its open. Ask any CO or call JP,KB,WS, and ask them about treestands.They cant do anything about it. Hell it's leagel on opening day for me to walk the woods of shotgun season anywere i want with out orange on as long as I am not hunting. I can stand anywere I want and you have to give me leeway.

Hunting from another person's stand without permission is UNETHICAL period. More about respect of another person's property than anything else. (Find someone in one of my stand's and a butt wooping will occur) ,Sure are alot of self centered, disrepectful people in this world, if you want to belong to the group then have at it. As for myself I was raised better than that.

Park at your own risk. State owned boat ramp,the state is not responsible for your car or truck.Leave your boat overnight on a public boat ramp and it's gone the next day,sue the state for the theft? Your S.O.L.

And i was talking about leaving a structure on public property. Trees stand,Boat dock. So what are you going to do, if someone is in your tree stand arrest him/her for trespassing on land the state owns. If i own the land and your in my tree stand,YES I can have you arrest you for trespassing. Bottom line..

Like many times, I think some are confusing a person describing the law, as they understand it, as how the person actually believes is right or fair.

Stanton21 are you saying you hunt in other peoples treestand's on public property without permission?? If so, why do you feel that you are entitled to do so???

There are rules at different property,most property's have you put your name and address for the whole world to know and that is your spot and stand. If you chose to hunt it when the owner is not there so be it. If the guy shows up you might have to leave to find another spot.HHF might be a different. I do not have to worry about stand hunting,I pack it in and out every time and hunt were ever i want.

I'm looking forward to the CO answer to this. I can think of a least one scenario that would have me leaning towards a stand being private property. I set my stand up, hunt it, go to lunch/bathroom break and come back to remove it and there is a guy in it. Do I have to wait for him to leave while hunting my stand before I can remove it? Can he refuse to get down when I ask him to? I mean according to everyone here it's first come first serve right? Hmmmmmmm...... If a stand is public property and fair game on public ground for all to hunt as some of you guys claim, then why are we supposed to leave a tag with our personal information on it? Would you go ahead and sit in a chair and lay down on someone else's towel set up on the public beach? It's in a good spot after all....

Deer Hunting Rules Willow Slough FWA Deer stands can be placed on Willow slough FWA starting September 1st each year All stands must be portable in nature and have the owners name, address, and phone number legibly written on them. Information should be legible from the ground. Hence this is my property ( tree stand with name on it)and you can calm it. Rules on state property dose not state any were the you put it up you owner the tree for the season. And for the towel,no rule say you cant, Its common courtesy to respect other peoples property, we all know that. But in another aspect of it I guess you can remove the towel the way I see it.

The way you see it is wrong and you have no idea what you are talking about here ..You are condoning what would be theft and will not could get a person arrested on the spot.

Were is the theft? I'm sitting in a tree stand on public land that is not mine. I didn't move it, steel it or alter it in any way. Show me any were in the IN.Gov or the IDNR web were it says any different. It common courtesy your banking on.

Yet another example of poorly written, vague and ambiguous regulations left open to interpretations. The rules should be so clear as to leave no room for interpretation. Alas, they are not, in many cases. This is a prime example.

I will continue to be considerate of other peoples property. "If you arn't into that I don't give a dam_." And as grandpa always said. "Son, your either part of the problem or part of the solution. Choose wisely." Does not need to be a "rule" or a "law" to do the right thing. Happy hunting.
