I buy cheap used stands and put them out all over the state in various public and private lands that I hunt. I don't know if there have ever been any of them stolen or not, but I do know that I have forgotten where several of them are. Currently have about 10 climbers in the garage at home and another 5 or 6 on various lands throughout the state. I also keep one in the back of my truck all hunting season in case I see a place i want to get out and hunt.
