Assuming a treestand is placed on public hunting land according to the rules, is the stand open to anyone who wants to use it (first one to get there), or, can it only be used by the owner? Thanks.

It would have to be used by someone the owner gave permission to. Just because it is placed on public land, legally and within all the regulations of statute and administrative rules, doesn't give someone the authority to exert unauthorized control over the item. This is not a hunting statute but would fall under conversion or exerting unauthorized control over property that belongs to another. If you are in the stand, you have pretty much taken control.
