I HAVE taken a stand down and removed. Middle of summer (at this point it was up 5 months after the offender was supposed to have it out of the woods.) I took down a ladder stand, packed it up real nice with all of the guys straps, then carries it 3/4 of a mile back to the access point. At that time, I OnX pinned it, sent the warden an email detailing exactly what I did and where he could find everything. I then shared the OnX pin with him. I got a call later thanking me profusely and was told if I find any more up illegally, I was welcome to do the same thing.I never said anything about taking a stand home. You guys all have me out as some serial treestand thief and I've never even taken one. All I'm saying is a stand left somewhere doesn't mean it's your spot. It's first come first serve.
When is it considered abandoned and litter? I was doing a public service by cleaning up litter.
