Some tree stand security

[Jeremy K]

A few weeks back some members talked me into going with climbing sticks instead of the screw in steps , thank you for that BTW . I decided to ditch the quick release pins on the climbing sticks and use tamper proof torx drive with all metal lock nuts , i chained the top of the sticks to the tree stand and around the tree . Im well aware that anything can be stolen but it just may be enough to make a theif pass on the set up because he isn't able to just remove and carry it away. If you want something even more secure you could use a shear head bolt but good luck getting those out .

That should certainly help.  Slowing them down is better than nothing!

just a common bolt and lock nut in place is usually enough to deter someone..they dont carry wrenches with them..most thieves seem to be opportunists.
