sailinghudson25 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Treestands and camera. Easy Easy thing....... Make them camo. Take a new treestand and give it a camo pattern. Then add a vine along a side or two. Much harder to see it 50+ yards away. Trail camera straps....... Why haven't they been camo yet? A bit of spray paint makes them much harder to spot at distance. Leaning a few sticks helps too. Treestand theft.. A few feet of large diameter chain and a nut/bolt. Tigthen the bolt with the right wrench good. Then take a size bigger wrench and screw up the hex head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubborn1VT Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Live just over an hour away. My brother lives on the farm, but isn't in the woods that much. During that week my blind and stand were stolen, a bunch of trail cameras came up missing on the neighboring properties. It wasn't the neighbors anyhow. They are all scared of my temper. And the farm has a backhoe. Edited January 1, 2019 by stubborn1VT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use a piece just long enough to stick out past the camera and nail to tree . Use a short nail and leave head out a bit . Jeremy , it’s an Ontario Knife company. Spec Plus Marine. No emblem . Don’t see this one listed anymore . http://ontarioknife.com/fixed-blades/spec-plusr-series.html Edited January 1, 2019 by Stay at home Nomad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy K Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 If it's for Ontario knife then I definitely built the mold for it ,the later version had the emblem in the handle, the place I started my apprenticeship at built their molds . Kinda neat to see one again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came half a mile through the woods and went through at least 3 sets of posters. I realize that there is no perfect solution. I was just curious what other people do, since I have never had to worry about it before. I'm leaning toward grade 70 chain and padlock, or replacing the stolen stand with a homemade ladder stand made of pressure treat. Expand Pressure treated built stands was our solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdbing Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 As some have said locks, etc. Only make them work a little harder to steal. Lost a ladder stand and a hang on and climbing sticks on 2 separate occasions, but that was on public land, even though chained and padlocked. Now I don't leave anything in the woods. Some guys leave hang ons, but remove the steps up to 8 or 10 feet and remove the seat. It has never crossed my mind to take someonelse's stuff, but then I was raised that way.

Jdubs Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Just found out today that thieves stole 2 ladder stands, a ground blind, a cam and a hang on seat from the other guys in my group. Scumbags!

fasteddie Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Treestands aren't even safe on private property . My son went to his double ladder stand on opening morning of Bow Season . The bottom section was missing and no where to be found .That made the stand useless . It was over 200 yards from the road and farther from any house . We also had permission to hunt private property in Mendon . On two occasions the ladder support bar was removed from a stand . That could have been quite dangerous if one of us tried climbing into the stand in the dark . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
