Honestly, I wouldnt care if someone stole some of the stands I have left on public land. I dont think I've ever paid more than $30 for one on facebook marketplace, and the threat of someone stealing it doesnt scare me bad enough to make myself tote one in every time. To me, hunting is supposed to be fun, and a harsh walk in the woods with a treestand on my back wears me out and I'm so tired by the time i get there that the whole ordeal is kinda ruined for me anyway.
