And you as them. Just because they have the right doesn’t mean they are right…

I’ve suggested this before for a similar confrontation, and it wasn’t taken seriously then, but hear me out. Picture this:
It is early.
It is dark.
Your guy’s truck is already parked at the spot when you arrive.
You walk to your stand, climb up, and get settled in the stillness of the dark before first light.
Your guy is out there, somewhere nearby in his own stand. You can feel him out there, and he can feel you. Two ghosts floating silently in the darkness.
Before the first birdsong starts, before any light at all, you unstrap your 2200W Watt boombox from your pack, slowly turn the knob to 11, and send out these vibes:
Wait for dawn and whatever the day brings.

Just remember those guys that fought in Vietnam are way more bad ass than most guys today. Don’t ever pick a fight with a old guy. He has little to loose and you may just be another notch in his Kbar.

Well, for the 1st time in my life I am not wearing a badge or under the oath,having to check my reactions every second....free.
In all fairness I would not be parked any were near other vehicles these days. I just go elsewhere. I also don't stand hunt.
And the last two aholes who drove all over the place during my hunt got away with it after being reported.

This * 1000. Never fight a fighting man who's too old to fight. He might just pull a .44. As far as the story about the mass shooting involving the Hmong guy, best not to mess with guys that took on the NVA with crossbows.

I hate how hunting brings out the worst in people. (Not talking about you or any of the other very humorous suggestions in this hilarious thread) These type conflicts are the reason many places have it illegal to leave stands on public land. You couldn’t find his stand because he is probably doing the hang and hunt thing, saddle hunting, etc. and not leaving anything out there, which is likely part of the reason he resents you leaving yours. Your stand being left there gives the impression of claiming a spot as your own making others feel as if they shouldn’t be there when you all have equal right to the place.
As far as what to do my $.02 is I would just try to ignore the guy and go hunt. If he sees you in person and harasses you call the warden. Hunter harassment laws can be used against non-hunters and hunters alike. If you get to your tree without conflict climb on up and enjoy the mornin. In the end he most likely doesn’t want his hunt messed up any more than you so if you aren’t set up where you can see each other you can likely go about your business with no conflict, just know leaving your stuff invites all sorts of trouble.

WMA's and WPA's have different rules and yes you are right in which you can not leave them overnight; state forests you can leave portables, hell you can still build permanents in alot of state forests; our city rules say to follow state and county rules. The only county rule is no building of permanent stands. As for all stands left on public land, anyone can use them, but you cannot steal them

multiple deer tags, so he'll probably be back, best I can hope for now is he was solely using my stand and when he gets out there some morning between now and the end of the rut, he'll be missing something..

The only time I've had someone mess with my cams in the woods (all public land) was pulling my SD cards out of 2 cams. I figured there must have been something good on them if they did that.

Just take the center piece out, wait until it's flat and put it back in. He'd really be wondering then and there's be no destruction of property. Do it to 2 of them just to make things difficult. Then leave the bloody nock on the tire.
