I have been walking the Game Lands near my house. There are ladder stands on them everywhere. What do I need to do to get them taken down. Or do you guys know who to call. Also correct me if I am wrong but they are not allowed to put them up correct.

 

[Mathews Shooter]

Why does this worry you? I'm not looking for a fight, just asking.

 

[Mackenzie]

It does not worry me. It is that when I get off work at 3:30 to go bow hunting. people are already in there ladder stands. I think everybody should have the same opportunity, To carry in there climbers and set them up. I think then it gives everybody a fair chance.

 

[Treestand]

so put up some ladder stands. maybe they are physically unable to use climbers. so maybe ban the use of all stands on gamelands.just sayin

 

[Mackenzie]

can I legally put up ladder stands on the game lands?

 

[Mathews Shooter]

can I legally put up ladder stands on the game lands?

yes

 

[Woods walker]

Call your regional office for the PGC. Tree stands may not be permanent.

 

[Mackenzie]

Thats what I thought. Thanks John.

 

[Treestand]

how is a portable treestand perminent?

 

[Mathews Shooter]

one strap and it can be moved like that, not permanent in my book.

 

[Mackenzie]

does that mean I can just take them because they must have lost them in that case. Also some of them have locks. And if you dont have the key you cant move them. I will call Chad tommorow are Local Game warden im sure we can get these things taken down!!!!

 

[Treestand]

you can put them there and it is ok to lock them so jerks cant take them. you can hunt coyotes 365 so they have a right to be there.

 

[Mackenzie]

Like I said I will talk to Chad tommorow. I dont want to start a fight. I just dont think you can have them there legally.

 

[Swamp Fox]

The problem is people leave them there all year and act as if they own that part of the gamelands.

 

[Mackenzie]

Thats what im talking about. It just makes me mad when you want to hunt an area that is public and you cant because there is always a tree stand there.

 

[R.W.J]

if its left 2 weeks after the season is over it becomes litter.

 

[fordman99]

If the treestand is empty when you get there,set-up and hunt.

 

[Treestand]

if its left 2 weeks after the season is over it becomes litter.

but cant you hunt something on gamelands 365 a year?

 

[hunterx]

I don't know how having a stand already there prevents anyone else from hunting that area????

SGL , 1st come 1st serve , never knew leaning a stand up against a tree secured that area for anyone.
But I wonder if there isn't just a touch more about to it

 

[Swamp Fox]

Ok I can solve the coyote debate. We have had snow for more than 2 weeks on the ground. Was there any footprints around the stands you found? I bet not!
