Those tree stands are free for the taking after season. They obviously are too lazy to get them. Take them or find what the DNR officer says. They will learn one way.
Definitely a problem getting soupy, sloppy mud and freezing your tracks. Found that out the hard way in the construction trade. Clean the tracks and get a concrete blanket to wrap the machine in doubt. Biggest problem is people abuse the tracks and don't get cheap ones to replace. Tight, hard...
