sunday, thinking would be a good day to retreive my stands before the rains , i had collected all but one. one on private ground, i always drive the section and noticed a truck parked along the feild,next to where i go in , tracks leading in, i write the lic number down and be on my way, go to my stand which i had always kept my first 6 steps with me , only to find my stand gone!( chained- locked)gone, he used cutters to cut the chain and used his own steps to reach the top. i head back to my trk, and see this guy carrying a stand out that looks like mine,( not a young man)i take a few digitals and confront him.he said it was his , but little did he know, id etched my phone no underneath the the seat , ah,turns out, its mine--- enforcement said i couldnt use names , but not a pic-- til found guilty, sweet redmption could come soon!has the economy gotten this bad where sportsman our stealing another hunters things?it turns out, he just lost his job & doesnt want charges pressed, i will get my stuff back, but what would you do??i have been taught to forgive our fellow man, but i work hard for what i buy- whats telling me that he wont do it again unless i make him sweat alittle? thoughts?this may weigh more on me than him.
