I hunt from a climbing stand. That way, I don't have to worry about theft, and more importantly, I don't have to worry about some trespasser figuring out where I hunt and gaining from the decades I spent figuring deer out on particular properties.

i have had problems with people just taking the ladder sections from my stands. so i came up with a perfect deterent. i only pray the people who mess with my stuff dont visit this site. ok this might be a little confusing. i put the stand togeather and drill a hole through the legs on the ladders where they come togeather. then i put a bolt through it. then i take another bolt and cut it down to where i have about a half inch of threads, i then thread it part way into a nut, not to far just enough to hold it. i then weld the the two togeather. so at this point what you have is a nut that looks like its been twisted off of a bolt but welded. i then screw the nut onto the bolt sticking through the stand. it looks like i put the bolt through the stand and welded it but in actuality it will come apart with a wrench. it works like a dream. i had someone take a whole stand and dumped it because they didnt think it would come apart. they had the bolts bent from where they tried to break them with a rock. if only they had known. ill try to take some picture of the contraption.
