Also, I believe it's a regulation that if you leave a stand up on public land you must tag it with your contact info., name, address, and phone number.
[FONT="][FONT="]How’s the deer hunting in Jasper-Pulaski?[/FONT][/FONT]Those are good places, a lot of land, lowland , trees etc.I hunt JP and pressure isnt too bad, again a lot of land to hunt.But they are all good places.
Years ago when I hunted public ground in Perry County a local hunting friend of mine and I went to check the stands we had put up two weeks previous and scout a little more since the leaves had dropped. Imagine our surprise while driving down the single lane road to stop a pickup coming out of that section of public ground with both of our stands in the back. The two young occupants of the truck said they had "found" the stands in the public forest and were inferring that it was finders keepers, missing out on both of our names and other info obviously etched into the ladder part of the stands. After some less than civil conversation, we made them put our stands in my friends truck and never hunted that area again. Get good locks and chains.

That sucks, and pretty amazing that you caught them. I’m using a hang on stand that I will leave up and a tree stand cable lock. I’m hoping it gets left alone. Since I have climbing sticks I may just take them all with me to make the stand harder to get to, or leave the top one or two so I don’t have as much to carry in when hunting the stand.

Tree stands all over the place at LaSalle. It's comical.
I'll be walking the woods shooting squirrels with my scatter gun or from the boat while fishing.
Be sure your legal. Been patrolling harder this year. I've been stopped twice recently.

Seems like all of them or most are set up for gun season only.
I can’t imagine how many hunters will be out there opening day.

Ya its nuts and sounds like a war zone. Everything from a .22lr to a howitzer going off. I gave it all up until this year decided to pop a few squirrels and spend some time hiking. Probably stay home and do some hand loading.
