I recently hunted Sampson State Park for the first time in a bout 20 years and was amazed to see that the park allowed ladder stands to be put up and left in the park all season. There were over 50 stands set up throughout the park. I never hunted a public area where this was allowed. Personally I think this is wrong as it takes away spots from everyone else. I hunted there for 2 weeks and never saw anyone in any of the stands. I must say here I dont hunt weekends so I assume thats when the stands were being used. I asked a park official about this and he said he didnt like climbers and the stands were allowed on a first come first served basis and had to be registered with the park. He said to me that "you cant expect people to set up a stand everytime they come to hunt". Really? Ive been doing that for 40 years Ive been bowhunting. Id like to here what the rest of you guys think about this.
