My buddy hunts public ground in mn. He put up a ladder stand before the season. Some other asshole came in after him and put one up in the same fucking tree facing the other way. Wrapped his straps over my buddy Jim’s. WTF? Lol!  |

You can't fix stupid. In some way it is Minnesota nice, he did not steal his stand.

The guy must have thought it was a good location just facing the wrong way. I wonder if he planned on sitting there at the same time as your buddy?

I had a treestand in the national forest at the top of a mountain for a few years. It was 3 miles up hill into it so it didn’t get used a lot. We’re left handed so it was setup for lefties. I went up there early one morning and someone had moved it so it was setup for righties. At least they didn’t steal it.
We’re allowed to keep stands on national forest year round as long as they don’t damage the tree. On some state owned parcels they have to be out by January 31. The kicker is you can put stands on private property here if it’s not posted and they don’t have to come out unless asked by the landowner. I think stands and cameras should be by landowner permission only.

I thought u cant leave any stand on public ground in mn. You can, but it can be used by anyone if you do. But my buddy jim is pretty much like me, this guy needed to find a new tree opening morning. |

My coworker had his stand confiscated off public land a couple years ago. Maybe certain lands u cant leave overnight?
Still a dick move regardless

I thought u cant leave any stand on public ground in mn. It depends on location and ownership or classification of the ground. WMA’s are not allowed overnight except some northern counties. Public land can be state, federal, or county. Some industrial forest lands and even lands owned by Sportsman’s clubs are open to the public. Many different rules. |
