We've had issues with poachers for as long as I can remember. However, this is the first time I've actually found a stand in place on our family's property. The stand is about 18 feet up, its a brand new, climber style stand with a cheap stand ladder strapped to the tree. I contacted all the neighbors, they say its not theirs and that they too have not given anyone permission to hunt on their properties that border ours. I tried calling the CO but naturally, they are swamped with it being opening day and the lady on dispatch had no idea how I should proceed. There is no names on the stand and we have given no one permission to hunt. The thing that annoys me most. The tree right in front of it has a no hunting/trespassing sign on it. 1 of the dozens I have scattered throughout the property. Any suggestions on how to handle it? I've thought about taking it down and taking it to the sheriffs office and turning it into them and leaving a note for the owner to contact the sheriff's department to get it back.
