what hunter would steal

[jtwalsh62]

Was going to my blind today after church to hunt a few hours and someone has stolen my ground blind ,he did leave me my bucket and the bag the blind goes in . He must had been in a hurry, to leave the bag guess he had to get home to his family. Well that seals it for me no more hunting from a blind. Hope he enjoys it. will be the last blind he steals from me . It is worse on him cause he know who he really is in side

I hate stuff like this,it's a sad day when you can't leave anything out without someone taking what is not his.

Always amazes me what some people will do......sorry for your bad experience.

[JEFF B]

well that just sux! sorry to hear that. i guess that is why i spot and stalk. no one can take anything that way.

[Killdeer]

They walk among us. Dammit.
Hope all your turkeys are deaf, blind, very loud and stupid.

Don't lose heart, it can be done. I have had them come past me many times, and have snuck up on them to within shooting range. I hope your "sharer of the land" has terrible allergies and a shrewish wife who will keep him inside with idiotic honey-dos. When he goes to work, I hope she cleans all his "junk" out of the garage.

There is no reason that some people are so stupid.I am sure most are honest,expecially people hanging here.

[Izzy]

Maybe he wasnt a hunter.Might have been a run of the mill thief walking through your woods.Some people would steal your dirty underwear just cause they like stealing and may not even intend on using it, the "Scavenger Gene".Too bad at any rate, sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear that.  I had the same thing happen to me last year.  At least they left some of your stuff behind.  They took my blind, bag and even my decoys.  I hate that this happens to anyone.

[cwbyengraver]

I wrote my name on the inside of my blind, and hunting stuff with permanent marker. So if someone stills my blind.  Every time they use it they can see my name.

[Stone Knife]

That's why I put mine up use it then take it home with me. Lots of scumbags among us.

Man that sucks Joseph! If you're still after thunder chickens, I'll happily loan you my ghillie suit for the remainder of the season.

It may be worth keeping your eye on the pawn shops once season closes. I know of 2 people from the area lost hang-on stands during deer season & then found them in a pawn shop in March.

[tradtusker]

that Sucks!
hopefully his conscience will eat at him every time sets eyes on it or uses it.

[jsweka]

Sorry to hear that.

Was your blind on public land?

[northland archer]

Sorry to hear that.  I lost a new stand during deer season only 75 yards from my house.  I guess ethics only go so far for some.  Take care.

Yeah, I'm for harsh sentencing for thieves and the like. I'd be fine with stocks in the public square. These days they pay a fine and get counseling at the taxpayers expense!   :rolleyes:

[poison arrow]

Sure it wasn't the wind? If it's not nailed down people will most likely steal it. If it is nailed down and they want it they will use tools to get it.

[Barney]

Well, i gotta say, I don't leave anything and am surprised when other people do. I might leave a treestand but it'll be locked with a cable. The ranch I'm turkey hunting currently has no one else on it. I still take everything back with me. If you felt safe, I guess you could've left your bow too.

It's a shame but it's what the world has come to.

[T Lail]

I would hope that no true "hunter" would do that...it takes a low life blankity-blank to steal.....have had several tree stands and blinds taken....burns me to the core.....

[wildcat hunter]

Next time take a dump in it and let it in the center where he can smell / see it!
