I had 1 stolen when I was a teenager. Now I am pretty cautious and don't give people the channce. On most propertys I either use my climber or I have alot of places i leave steps in the tree and carry I lone wolf in and out with me. It keeps **** from egtting stole, keeps people from hunting my stands, and keeps people from seeing where I'm hunting.

None Yet that I know of. A little worried though. Left my climber at the bottom of a tree since I was going to be back that evening. Had a small emergency at the house and could not get back that evening. That was last Friday night. Hope it is still there Saturday morning when I get in there.

about 3 or 4 ladder stands and one climbing stick. I think I found the culprit sneaking around the woods while I was out checking for scrapes the other night. He seemed to know quite a bit about my stand locations!

I have since went to the Wedge-Loc tree stand and just carry it in with me everytime. I take out the bottom four steps that way they can't get the rest of my steps. Sucks that we have to worry about theives and go through all the extra effort though!

None yet, the people that live around the property I hunt keep an eye on everything pretty well. They have all lived around their since they were kids.

I still have locked everything up. I have left my climber on the bottom of a tree for a week and it noone messed with it.

I know not everyone has that luxury and to some people we are all gong to have stuff stolen if we leave it in their.

Over the years, four, plus a whole bunch of steps and one trail camera. Two of the stands were locked in.

i have set them out for a lot of years...the only one stolen was a loggy bayou lite...i really didn't like it...i hope the guy knew how to use the cinch rope or it could be curtains for him...i think they have been discontinued because theyre dangerous(rope)...and it was stolen on my sisters lans,33 acres.they had a mc event and one decided to show his appreciation for the use of their land for the race by stealing the stand...i almost caught the suckers still in their racing stuff but lost them in the crowd...
