I would get up there and saw those two cross / support boards about 3/4 of the way through.
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

The Federal Government cannot give anything to anyone, that it has not first taken from someone else.

Now that you've put it on the internet I probably wouldn't do that. Wardens do read this site and if some douche bag falls out and breaks his neck and they connect the dots you're going to be in a heap of [censored].

Put a camera up near the entrance to the property. Might be surprised at who comes in and at what hour they arrive. We were.

all I keep thinking is how much I hate junipers and how those trees might even make a bit of saw lumber and they would definitely make great corner post for a fence along with the limbs and tips making good fence post
or they would make good post and beams for a shed
I would be temped to cut the whole shooting match down and make something useful from it
just let the sawyer know there could be nails in the wood though
the wood for the stand if not salvageable would be good to get a nice fire going.....it is winter and cold out there

I find it hard to believe that someone intentionally poaching would build this stand. I would check with the neighbors to see if they have giving permission for someone to hunt there. My guess that it's a young college kid that "should" have known better. I would also contact the game warden and make him aware. He will catch him. For good measure, add a couple of cameras to get pictures.

Trespass with a firearm is a Class A misdmeanor. Goes up from there if you actually catch them shooting an animal.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

For good measure, add a couple of cameras to get pictures. Don't be surprised. My parents (in Virginia) live on five acres in the woods but it's in town. Bow hunting is legal there. A locally well known doctor that has a house on the same road a few miles away put a permanent tree stand up on my parents land when he gained access to adjoining property from the neighbor that lives behind my parents. The doctor did not know the property boundary. This wasn't found out until my dad allowed a sheriff buddy to hunt my parents' property and he found the tree stand and tore it down. The doctor then tried for years to get access back, to no avail and even tresspassed a few more times before my dad sent him a letter from his company's letterhead. My dad is an attorney.

Trespassers get away with a lot seems like but apparently we can't set booby traps without incurring the wrath of the law.

Paint bomb For the record, the one that set the bomb was ticketed, so booby traps are illegal. Sheriff, GW and trail cameras are your friends. Good luck

How far in from your fenceline? And how long have you had the property? fence corner is about 40 yds behind the tree, perimeter trail as well so not hard to get to here. I manage the property for the owner, I have been here over 2 yrs. and this was not here a month ago, fresh cuts on limbs and wood is too new.
