Good test for the anti-fog coating lol.

[gunner 83]

according to the regs it is unlawful to

# hunt any wildlife while impaired by alcohol or drugs.

so replace that brew with a nice cold coca-cola or pepsi and your golden;)

[3 Sheep]

Gunner83:
How old are you ????? 5
The guy posted a great picture.
Leave your two bits out of it !
TUC.
Man I could use a nice warm tree stand right about now.
Might just get me through this crappy winter. Great picture !!!
Keep them coming.

[gunner 83]

in regards to 3 Sheeps question "how old are you" ....

-old enough to know that any mixture of firearms and alchohol (in any amount) is A) Dangerous B) in poor taste even if just for a funny picture.

-old enough to respect the law

-young enough to know that not everythings posted on a message board on the internet is said to be a shot at somebody. like my first post. unfortunately 'tone' doesn't come across very easily on the web, which is one reason why we have these things (:eek ;) :\ :) :lol :rolleyes ) to help. if you go back look you'll notice that i used ;) , which, at least my intention was, to give the tone of sarcasm and humor.

[3 Sheep]

Thats fine and I accept your apology !!!;)
Some things are better left unsaid !!!
I do beleive that you know nothing of the law to which you speak !:b Careful how you quote the law !:smokin

[chef]

Tuc i thought you were from my hood in nova scotia ?,, not saskatchewan,although it wouldnt hurt while in elk and deer camp in the porkies to throw back and enjoy the hunt even further,although a few dancin girls around the tub never hurt;)
thats if the warden don,t check in on ya.:b

[BigBullAdventures]

Hey Chef, I'm from Kentville. What hood you from?

BigBull

[chef]

from spryfield ,hfx there bigbull , how long you been in alberta or are you still in kentville

[Okotokian]

cool.

I'd say if you have to wear blaze while sitting in a hot tub, ya got some pretty moronic and dangerous hunters around that locale! :lol

But serious question now about tree stands... Check my logic and ethics here for me, I'd appreciate it... I've seen a number of crudely constructed tree stands on some PUBLIC land where I hunt. MY thinking is that I will go ahead and use them. But if someone comes along and says "That's my treestand", I'd just give it up to him without argument and move off to another area. Is that reasonable, or am I breaking some unwritten treestand rules by even using it?

[chef]

which locale are you referring to there oky,?
And there is a kind of rule ,and its not build it and they will come ,,, meaning anyone who wants to use your stand ,,the rule is if you want to hunt from a stand ,, build your own , a guy doesnt appreciate scouting a location and putting alot of work into a project ,and have some other dude walk in and pop the deer he,s been working for .,
I guess its more curtesy than anything ,, not saying you cant hunt the area , but dont use his stand and dont build one right next to it .
Just my opinion ,i know i hunted from my stand every day for a week and missed one evening and some dude shot the deer i was after even after i walked into my stand a couple times and had to kick the idiot out of my stand .
You think the first time would have been enough ,things were not friendly very much after that and it was the last time i seen him in the area.

[Jamie Hunt]

Not sure about that Chef.
Seems if it is on public land than it is fair game.
Perhaps a way to deal with it is to leave some what of a schedual in the stand.
I know one thing, you wouldnt have kicked me out with that attitude. If we had a respectful discusion perhaps a compromise would have been reached.

Oko perhaps if you find a tree stand, leave a note asking the fellow to give you a call. If he calls then you guys could work it out.
Public land is excactly that. PUBLIC
Respect on both sides goes along ways

Jamie

[Okotokian]

good points guys.

Chef, I hadn't thought about the guy building a stand to get at a particular deer, taking all that time, etc. etc.. That makes me more sensitive to the issue.

On the other hand however, the particular stand I'm thinking of has been there at least two years. I don't think it right that a guy can stake out a particular area of public land as his exclusive multi-year hunting territory. So I'm not sure I'd go with the argument that I shouldn't build my own stand in the vicinity.

Perhaps the answer is that people should use those portable temporary stands. That way, no arguments.

Anyway, this has sensitized me and made me realize that I could be dealing with people with widely divergent views on the subject. I just hope it's JAMIE'S stand I end up using! LOL :lol

[chef]

Jamie my attitude was fine the first time ,but after the second time and he shot a nice 10 point from it that i had been working on all bow season and the start of the rifle season ,, and he never came back because he shot the deer , so why would he come back.I use a portable stand there boys and i purchased it , so its mine and i guarantee someone with that attitude there jamie would be coming down with the tree.
as it is illegal to build a stand and leave it ,but you can build one as long as you remove it at the season end , not like anyone does..so if this is the case then i guess using it is up to you ,and the area isnt the stand owners own domain , i just think if the stand is there then why is it so hard to move down the ways and build or put up your own ,, i said not to build it right next to him ,, and its a safety issue also ... say your sneeking in at dawn and he freeks and takes a shot your way or something .,its called being considerate , imagine if you had your blind in a certain goose field there jamie and you show up and some guy got there first , do you go home and let him have it , or say you are in your blind and some a hole walks in and lays down beside you , he,s noisy and not properly cammoed ,, lights a cigarette every ten minutes ,,,,
where does your opinion lay with that senario.
I say if its public area then first there gets the draw ,if you go around the woods with the attitude that you have a right to someone elses hard work ,then your lazy and inconsiderate.
If there is a way to talk to the guy that hunts that area and get some sort of permission or make a bond so you both use the same area then that would be kool,but if you dont put in the effort , you dont deserve the prize.

PS Im sure tuc would share his stand ,as long as you brought your own bevvies and a couple girlfriends,

[Jamie Hunt]

say you are in your blind and some a hole walks in and lays down beside you , he,s noisy and not properly cammoed ,, lights a cigarette every ten minutes

Simple invite him into the blind, pour a coffee and bum smokes for the rest of the morn.
Best case scenario
We shoot birds and I have a new hunting partner
Worst case, I smoked all his smokes and had a good day in the field.
Sometimes we take this hunting to serious.
People first, games second.

If people wish to have a stand to themselves, I suggest taking the steps out with you or chaining up the seat.
If you show up and there is a guy sitting under your stand and it REALLY REALLY ****es you off.. Go buy your own land.
The land and the deer are PUBLIC.
BTW I have heard of places that discourage folks who think they own the woods by coming in and chopping down trees that hold tree stands. Not my way of doing it, but be careful who you **** off.

say if its public area then first there gets the draw


Your correct. Just remember your rule applies on a hunt/hunt scenario.
I hope your not the type that parks his vehicle so that others can not access a area.

Jamie

[Tucumseh]

Sorry guys not sharing my stand with anyone except the ladies! :lol

[jrs]

I talked to some guys by Robb this summer that had tree stands established twelve years, they looked more like treehouses. I was considering using a few as they looked abandoned but late August i found the guys out there scouting the locations. They had a few awesome setups, there was a few i marked with a gps and totally missed the treestand the first time there. They said they all got bull elk every season so they had the idea down.

[BigBullAdventures]

Came to Jasper in 1981 for a summer job, went back to Acadia for 8 months, then back to Jasper and have been here ever since. The hunting, skiing, and fishing is just so much better here!

BigBull

[chef]

I hear ya on that big bull ,hunting and skiing and alot more exist in the west and has been a faded memory of the east .
So i assume you like it in jasper,you must have one of them fancy treestands out your way ,, wouldnt seem right with the scenery and wildlife all around ,not to enjoy a small luxury like that.

[grandzillaa]

chef was that stand of yours store bought where you put it up and take it down or is it made of wood and was nailed to crown land trees. I would think that it would become crown land property when nailed to crown land trees. That stand would be for all to use...for anyone can say I own that stand. Will where's the proof one can ask, but to avoid an arguement I would head elsewhere.

As for me I own a store bought one and I put it up that morning I take it down that evening, but thats me, for I don't want it stolen. None the less If I did leave it up and I had it chained and locked to a tree and I didn't use it for a few days and someone else did well then I have no one to blame but myself. I should have left a note on it saying own by ________and this stand is private property. Please call this number__________for permission to use this stand. Thankyou.

[HIBACKPACKER]

Hey
I would have to say good for you and who gives a @#%$ about the beer bottle the way things are going next thing you know they will want to drink it for us. I say F--k ummmmm.:lol
Happy Hunting

[baretrax]

iteresting topic! another senario..........you set up a bear bait and a stand, on crown land. The stand is home built( lumber nailed to the trees ), the bait is active, you come out to the stand, and there is someone in it. Does he have the right to be there?

[HIBACKPACKER]

Hey
This happened to me a couple of falls ago, but it was my deer stand on public land. I walked in to see someone in my stand with a blaze orange on. I was on the fight right away so I walk up to my stand and asked the guy what F--k he thought he was doing in my stand, his reply was OOOOOO sorry I didn't know it was your's. He got down and again said he was sorry. I explained how much time I spent scouting and setting up the stand. Now I admit looking back that my approach was not to smart I may have been shot and or beat up he could have returned with his friends as I was alone. When you spend the time and do the work it erks the hell out of me that some one would have the gull to help them selves to your hard work, most people have a pretty good idea what goes into it, they just don't care. To answer your question they have just as much right to be there as I do, but the unwritten rule of the respect factor should come into play for all the hard work that others have done. I myself would never dream of crossing the line and climb into another stand built by someone else even on public land. People should use their heads, if they want to be there in the same part of the woods as I, that's fine with me "but" they should put the time and effort to earn a spot in the woods public or not. That's the problem with people these day, we have no respect for each other.
Happy Hunting

[grandzillaa]

Thats a good senario baretrax. I guess Hibackpackers 5 words might help <blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>People should use their heads<hr></blockquote> when out hunting. If there is bait in the barrels, or hanging then it would seem that someone is using it, therefor leave it as is and move on.

As for me I have no problem useing a treestand that is already their, exspecailly the ones that I have found for most of them are not in use anymore and I fixed them up. As I said I would leave if asked to.

[chef]

grand ,,, my stand is store bought and is not locked to the tree.
I know you have no problem using another hunters stand a you talked earlier in the year about being ****ed off at some idiots camping on a lease sight ,, wrecking your hunt and using the area you were hunting , using a stand you had found ,built by another hunter ,,,
I say that is the most 2 faced scenario i have ever heard ,and i have to judge ones ethical position on such a topic.
Why was it such a problem when someone invaded your area to camp out but o k for you to take ownership of another hunters ,stand and probably personal hunting spot.
WHETHER a man has bait or not ,the area has been posted or marked by another hunter who plans on using his stand,
That doesnt mean you cant hunt that area ,but use your head and consider what you are doing ,,, or get out of bed and spend the day and your own money to build a stand or use your portable.

[chef]

K all you lazy people out there. you think because i have my stand on public land ,you have rights to it,so when you out hunting and your camped on public land ,and decide your gonna use my stand ,do not get upset when i find your quad parked in a thicket and need it to get me to the campsite . oh and your camper thats parked on crown land is also fair game i guess as well as the beers and the grub oh and if ya dont mind i need some gas for my generator.:hat
Think before you take privledge to something you do not own nor did you contribute any effort towards.
We are not talking about out of date rotted and not used for several year old stands here,we are talking about active well used and planned area,s/

[prairieboy]

do not get upset when i find your quad parked in a thicket and need it to get me to the campsite . oh and your camper thats parked on crown land is also fair game i guess as well as the beers and the grub oh and if ya dont mind i need some gas for my generator.:hat

Not that I would use someones stand,but sitting in someones stand is a far cry from stealing someones quad or breaking and entering into a camper.If you resort to committing those crimes do not get upset when you are arrested for doing so.:rolleyes

[chef]

Hey some guys consider the fact that its on crown and that makes it fair game ,so whether its a stand or personal property ,why all of a sudden is there a difference,a person puts hard work into both projects and neither should be invaded.
i personally would not tamper with anyones stand, camper quad or even an old cabin or camp of any sort that i had no vested interest in , i choose my ethics wisely in these situations,knowing how i would feel in reverse situations.;)
A trapline is on crown land and it is illegal to tamper with this line although you may use this land to hunt but not trap .
These are personal affects of the trapper and are protected by law , so there is an unwritten law to protect the rest of us from being used and abused.IF ITS NOT YOURS ,LEAVE IT ALONE. its that simple.

[baretrax]

Well the one good thing we have found so far is that there may be the odd person out there that doesn't know the proper etiquette as far as someone elses stand, at least none have gone " missing " thus far. On a couple other forums that I participate in, guys have had thier stuff stolen. Trees cut down to get at cameras, stands taken, and so on. These forums are american based, but it sure seems to be more of a problem down there than up here so far. I plan on fencing the quarter I just bought, and it is in an area that has a fair bit of hunting pressure, and there are lines and trails that have been used by hunters in the past. Its going to be interesting to see what will happen as far as the limited acccess now. Will I have problems with cut fences and such.

[Crown land]

Hey some guys consider the fact that its on crown and that makes it fair game , Yes i would and i would hope in that stand crown land makes it fair game .

so whether its a stand or personal property Now if its personal property like a store bought stand etc i would walk on and not touch it .

[jrs]

"On a couple other forums that I participate in, guys have had thier stuff stolen."

I know a guy that had cameras stolen by Cadomin. They were locked to trees even and actually being used to collect some data for a small project. Someone used boltcutters and some creative climbing to get them down. That was before they were real common, early to mid 1990's.

[baretrax]

so far we have been lucky...............no two legged thieves.........thieves of the four legged variety..........they got one............the bear had been fooling around with the cam while we were in the stands the day before, and looked like he lost interest, so we left it alone...........two days later, it was gone.............the only thing we found was the instruction packet that was inside the cam, and it was chewed up and about 70 yards from the bait.......we looked for days but no luck...............yogi probably has it set up on a line, taking pics to see which hunter looks more apetizing.....lol

[Jamie Hunt]

Chef, the original statement was in regards to a home made stand. I still stand by my thoughts in regards to home made stands.
I cant understand why you wouldnt chain your store bought one?

Jamie

[chef]

Jamie
when i use the porty i am there for a few days or a week so i frequent it quite a bit and am aware of who is in the area mostly ,but some times i leave it for a week wiithout being around ,other than one guy using it its been ok .
Hey and if you wanna use some guys stand, thats your problem or perogative, im just not comfortable myself using something i have not any right to ,like sneeking onto posted land or whatever
And no i do not park in an area where people can access, although the area i hunt has a gate and its permission only ,me and 4 others have permission , but the amount of idiots that went around the gate and cut themselves a roadway was rediculious ,and i was asked many times by many people while i was in there hunting or sitting at my trailer relaxing ,why did i have a right to access and even park my camper there ,, and the answer is simple ,, I have a right because i asked permission and didnt just take what wasnt mine.

[Okotokian]

the area i hunt has a gate and its permission only ,me and 4 others have permission ,

Ahhh, that's a completely different story. You can do whatever you want and build whatever you want if the owner is fine with it... You lucky dog ;)

[Lucky Dog]

"You lucky dog "He is not luck he is a miserable old coot.That thinks he is the best thing since god left Chicago.Chef (If your not the lead dog the view will always be the same.:\ )

[chef]

nation you have no clue as to what you are talking about!
where do you get your idea about lead dog ,if every hunter used an ethical brain out there .we would have no conflict nor would there be any illegal goings on .
Also i was god for awhile and thats why the other fake one lkeft chicago:b

[buck]

it seems as though to some people that lumber is free and at no cost to people even if some one uses a pallet for a tree stand it is theirs not some one elses so to me just because it din't come with a price tag from some store doesnt make it any more public property then a metal one to me i have seen some pretty nice and exspensive HOMEMADE WOODEN STANDS and have had both types stolen out of trees locked chained and all on private land where i had permission to be and on this theory of homemade is free game in tree stands then why do people not like strangers coming in to there homemade ice huts on public lakes?
to me if it's not yours then stay out of it on public land or not
i had problems with my bait station last year and fish and wildlife started checking the area non stop and told me it was a 1000$ fine for tampering with some one elses bait area. and with the name on the sign they can verify it quick if you should be there or not
but with just plain tree stand i'm not sure if any one can do anything or not
but it would be common courtesy just to use your own imo

[chef]

Man oh man .
Am i glad to see a couple guys on here with some sort of ethics and dignity in the bush as well as life in general.,.
i think some of the guys here that feel its ok to use whats not yours ,have been taught this from birth ,when you didnt have a bike you were allowed to take the neighbours kids and never got in trouble for doing so , or the kids that never took a pencil to school and seeing it was a PUBLIC school , you could take whom evers you wanted to .:\
Its all about morals ,ethics and some consideration and mostly about common courtesy.
I know its getting drawn out and it may seem i am trying to instill my opinion on some others, BELIEVE me I am as i can see someone didnt do so when your minds were developing.
and i cant believe some of the older gents on this board have such narrow minds ,,, this only leads you to believe they were not taught hunting and ethics as young boys but self taught themselves as older men to be hunters, less the woodsman aspect,thus the lack of knowledge in hunter respect.

SIGNED grumpy old lead dog .:b

[fishnamed]

O.K. so there are some pretty cool responses here, my only question is;
How do you know the person in your stand hasn't done any hard work himself? That by him sitting in your stand he has automatically infringed on your "rights" and not done his own homework so to speak.
I have full access to a half section of gods whitetail factory, never hunted out of a stand, but thinking thats going to change next year. I understand people being upset with finding someone in their stand, but on public land that could almost be expected, and someone piggy backing on your hard work? Well if they found your stand what were they doing? Kind of a neat subject, myself personally if i found someone elses stand i would leave it be and move on, but some of you make this sound like you are being stolen from. So what if i did use it? Would that make me a thief? Lazy? Unethical? *****hole? I don't think any.
Hey if someone found your stand, maybe you didn't do a good enough job hiding it.

[Okotokian]

Interesting... but I have to weigh back in here... First of all, let's not discuss stands on private land. If you have the owners permission you can build anything you want and reserve as much of the area from other hunters as the owner allows. The issue here is stands built on public land where the stand builder has no lease rights or permission beyond what anyone else has.

This seems to be about more than just using the stand. I've heard people in this chain mention things like (and I'm paraphrasing, forgive me if I get it wrong) "what if the owner of the stand had been stalking a particular buck and putting a lot of effort into that", or "You shouldn't build another stand nearby". The way I see it, none of us has the right to reserve PUBLIC land or wildlife for ourselves. You shouldn't be building structures on public land and considering it, and the territory around it, yours. That's just as much about ethics as the opposite argument.

Now if I'm in a stand and a guy says it's his, of course I will leave, without argument. I'll leave the area totally. I don't want to be interfering with anything. If I did build a stand nearby and when I arrived found the other guy already in his, again, I'd move on. You get there first, I'll respect your space for the day. But to put up a stand on public land and leave it for YEARS, then get incensed if someone uses it, or shoots "your" buck... I think that's unreasonable. If you want a reserved hunting area, go to a private land owner and convince him to let you have that right.

Anyways, nice to see the reasoned arguments here.

[Re: home made tree stands]

I have to agree with Okotokian ... if you build what I call a "semi-permanent" tree stand on crown land then you are probably putting it up in a prime location. That should not exclude other outdoorsman from having access to that location. There have probably been other hunters there before you ... It basically defaults to whoever gets there first that day is going to use it. I sometimes wonder why guys do this anyways since it may wreck some good hunting spots (licks, wallows, etc.) ... and it definitely catches the attention of everyone that passes by, which defeats the purpose of having your "own spot".

Trappers have rights to certain activities on crown land because of their traplines ... this includes building cabins. I am not sure that building treestands from nails and lumber (on crown land) is considered a legal use of the land. We all know it happens ...

If you build a stand on crown land you run the risk of someone else using it, plain and simple. I would not question the ethics of another hunter using that spot if he arrives there and no one else was around ... whether I built it or not.

[rugatika]

Never thought of it that way Okotokian. But you are 100% correct. I don't think I'd use a "found" stand on public property but I don't think someone should be able to slap some boards onto a tree and be able to reserve that as their own hunting property. This kind of goes back to the debate about people telling other people about their "secret" private honey holes etc on public land. It's all public land and should be equally accessible by everyone.

[Stands & Blinds on Crown land]

Crown land is public land! Anyone who puts a perminant stand or blind up deserves to have some one sitting in it. I agree with Okotok. about sharing an area, if a truck is parked were I wanted to go Id simply move on. The area I hunt around Grande Cache is loaded with permanant stands and blinds and no one has the right to try and claim an area because they built one. I use store bought stands and have around 60 or more set ups. It takes me a few minutes to set up and take down.Just because Joe blow sees a nice deer in the area and builds a stand there doesnt give him exclusive rights to the area. If you dont want anyone sitting in your stand take it home at night.

[chef]

Alll very good and respectable opinions ,there guys ,and your right no one has rights to the land or area ,and noone is saying not to hunt that area ,its fair game .but to move down the line a hundred yards or so isnt such a bad thing is it ,although i have posted it here before ,i had an outfitter put his stands ,2 ,one for the hunter and one for a camera dude ,directly over my stand but in the tree beside me , even though they knew i was hunting this one small perticular wallow and clearing . it was a race for them to beat me to the spot ,,, that is a total disregard and lack of respect in my books ,although i let them have thier hunt after a few words about thier actions , ,it was the most disgusting thing , why would it have been so hard to move down the line a ways or watch one of the feeder trails,
Thats kind of my point ,its not first come first to hunt , there,s alot of space out there ,take some time and find yours, if its where someone else has a stand ,then by all means put up your own stand , and try not to use the same tree as another hunter has chosen ,, get with the program.
Public doesnt mean you own it to yourself we all pay alot of taxes for the use of this ,, welll most of us ,but to share and have some dignity at the end of the day ,isnt that more important then just taking advantage of someone elses labours.

[Okotokian]

"noone is saying not to hunt that area ,its fair game .but to move down the line a hundred yards or so isnt such a bad thing is it "

And there's the reasonable approach. :D Respect the first guy in, give him a wave and move on. While I don't think a stand reserves an area for anyone, I WOULD build mine farther away.

[RE:Stands & Blinds on Crown Land]

Sounds like your hunting a high presure area Chef, might be time to move on. I can relate with the out fitter crap. These guys only concern are their clients and will hunt the area until the trophy quality is gone. Ive seen blinds set up in the same spots going on 7 years now for the entire month of Nov.. The first couple of years they tagged out deer as high as 180, now probably average in the 140 or less .Get away from the crowds, go a little deeper in the woods, have more than one stand set up. When spring scouting keep in mind that easy access means you will most likely be sharing the area with some one else come fall.

[RE:Stands & Blinds on Crown Land]

{keep in mind that easy access means you will most likely be sharing the area with some one else come fall.}

Best thing i heard all day words to live by.

[grandzillaa]

Hey chef.... you called me 2 faced, but you missed the main point of that topic that I posted last fall. Also like you, others took what I said out of contexts. The main topic that I posted last fall was the use of quads during the morning hours before noon. They were using their ATV's for hunting before the legal time which is noon. Many though knew what The main point was and they also knew that I had no problem if someone used the stands. Because I said so in the topic.

I said if they would have paid attention to the treestand that was in plain site, and if they would have looked at the ground in that vacant lease site at the number of tracks that are in their then they would have understood that that was a main feeding ground for the big game animals.

I also said that the fellows I hunt with, park on the vacant site road way(about 70 yards) from the site. The deer have no problem with that, but and we learned this the hard way, don't camp in the site because that changes the deers life some what. So we stayed away from their for about a month in hopes that they well come back. Then they started to come back but slowly. So we left it alone for the rest of 2005. Then in 2006 some hunters set up a major camp in the site, and as I stated in the quad topic it would have been better if they would have set up camp at the beginning of the lease site road or the next road over and walked back. I also said that if they would have done that and used the stands then they would have seen deer,moose and a elk which hides on the other side of the sunchild road. I said I don't care that they used it that was not the problem, the use of a quad for hunting big game before noon was the real problem. One guy on this board defended me on this issue alot, and a number of others stood with me as well. Like that guy said " grand had know problem with them being their, he had a problem with the use of quads before noon for hunting."

How many two faced guys like me share specical hunting spots with members on this board? I gave directions to (newtoedmhunter) on where to fined game bird, ducks etc in 346. I lead him right to the spot.

Or, how the the mule deer area that I shared in 339....the first site on the right side of highway 620 just past Elk river road as you head west from Drayton Valley. I said set up a treestand in the north west corner of the site.

Or how about the moose area that I shared in 339....the lease site road where the cummunications tower is on the right side of Hi-way620, and to make sure they found it I also said that their was a tower on the left side in 337 and a lookout tower. Plus I said the moose hang around from the tower road back to two other site roads.

Or how about the five treestands I shared in 337 off of Hi-way 620 on Rng road 91(left side of 620), I said you past a fenced in area, then a straight site road , then you turn into the next lease site road and it curse around and come back out to 91.

But my biggest lead was in 242 when I shared my secert hunting spot with (Bigbore and Hunting Dan) on a farm land and the farmer leases crown land as well. This spot I made known on the board for (newtoedmhunter) so that he can get his first Alberta deer. I gave the farmers name and directions to the farm. Plus I told him of the treestands that were on the land as well. Jamie Hunt posted these words after my post, "Yet another killer hunting spot posted on this boaed"

Yes sir this came from a 2 faced guy.

[chef]

grand ,
i stand corrected and appolagize .
i remembered you bitching about someone in your spot ,but forgot the entire topic,, guess speaking before thinking got me again.:o

[grandzillaa]

Accepted.;)

[Tuc]

Well I decided to upgrade my deer stand. What ya'll think?

A 1/4 section of land and this high teck tree stand, man, I'd never go home! :wave:

[-NDN-]

all its missing is a bedroom suite. I could spend a few weeks at a time there myself. Put that up in the middle of my favorite area in wmu936 and I'd be set:D

well look at it this way if you do bag one i would not recomend you clean it out in your wet bathing suit in our nice november weather.

All you'd have to do is show up in your speedo, you'd scare them out of their skin.

ok guys, i just built a tree stand on Hutterite property, they let pretty much anybody hunt their land, with permission, i go in on opening day and there is a dude all dressed up in his best orange, sitting in the stand i built. what do u do in these circumstances?

A: jump up and down, in a rage?
B: politely ask him to leave?
C:sit under the tree, till he gets the hint?
D:inform him that it's your stand?
E:leave and come back after he's gone?
