Someone stole my blind today

[riot1013]

Darn thing was a week old.  Birthday gift from my son.  The worst part is I was on private property.  The only one allowed to hunt on the land.  I almost don't even feel like hunting tomorrow now.

Bummer. Unfortunately, posted signs only tend to keep out the folks that wouldn't steal anything anyways.

WOW! I just can't believe that other another hunter would steal someone else's blind or stand? I had a climber stand stole about 20 years ago, I spent 20 minutes in the dark looking for the tree thinking I was in the wrong spot until I found the climber marks on the tree.
Good luck finding the culprit that stole your blind, You can put a few lumps on his head for me! Keep your chin up! It's a shame that a few bad apples can ruin the name of so many honest and law abiding hunters.

How do you know it was another hunter?

[speedbump]

I've had a stand stolen before...leaves a bad taste in your mouth, sorry man

[Curveman]

It may have been an anti. My friend had 4 stands destroyed-not stolen, just broken apart. Probably by someone thinking they were doing the right thing!

[Wannabe1]

Sorry to hear that. A gift from your son makes it even worse.

I've had a stand stolen off private property many years ago. I would not call anyone that steals, trespasses or break the law a hunter.

Riot, you can't let them get you down. Get out there and bowhunt.

SOMTIMES "LEASED HUNTIN "SIGNS WORK BETTER.THTAT WAY THEY KNOW SOMEONE COULD POSSIBLY BE ON THE PLACE.I HATE THAT THEY STOLE IT.THEY WILL ANSWER FOR THAT.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunatly it seems to be a common practice on state land here. Thats why I switched to climbers and just traded a hang on for an Anderson Tree Sling. I do have a pop-up but wouldn't dare leave it where I hunt.

All I can say is that it wasn't a trad hunter for sure!!!

[riot1013]

I know it was hunters because someone saw people going into the woods near my flagging.  The land owner is looking into it.  His neighbor has been allowing hunters but never mentioned it.  When he called her tonight about the incident he asked for the names of the hunters.  She hung up on him without giving names.  Hopefully I will get it back.  It was hard telling my three-year-old that I couldn't take him on his first deer hunt because my "tent thing", as he calls it, was stolen.  It's not even like the 200 bucks is that hard to swallow (well it is but it's not going to kill me).  It's just the principle.  I am still sick about it.

sad day when people steal a blind.sorry for your loss riot.  :confused:

[razorsharptokill]

I'm sure they won't even use it! Might end up in a pawn shop though so I'd print some copies from a catalog and run them by all the shops.

[Dave Bulla]

Sorry to hear that.  

That's why I NEVER leave a stand or blind in the woods unless I'm in it till after dark and I plan to be back before first light.

Sorry to hear that,  A bubby of mune had his trail camera stolen recently too.  I know how bad he feels and can sympathize with you.

that really sucks, sorry to hear that.

[Stone Knife]

That stinks, that is why I never leave mine in the woods and have locks on all my stands even though they are on my own posted land. It's tough to keep dirtbags off of any land.

I CAUGHT SOME GUYS HUNTIN ON MY PLACE.I ASKED THEM WHY THEY WRE OVER HERE AND THEY SAID,"WE DIDN'T SEE ANYONE HUNTING OVER HERE SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT".TALK ABOUT MAD,I WAS HOT.I ALWAYS ASK FOR PERMISSION AND EXPECT THE SAME COURTESY.
