bulldawg Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Re: ROBBED! I thought for sure my stands were gone this year, but last weekend I found them still in place! Whew! Sorry to hear your bad news. To let you know how low people stoop these days....my cousin & I caught 2 walleyes in the 3 and 4 pound range 2 years ago, and stopped at a store for a sandwhich on our way home.. When we returned to the vehicle... our walleyes had been stolen from the boat!! We must have walked out just at the right time, because no gear was missing. Just our supper...dang thieves.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Re: ROBBED! Dartonman, Your one awesome individual to offer a stand to a member on here. Class act that is for sure. Sorry mainebuck about your loss, some S.O.B. stole my feeder in the spring and my buddy's propane tank from his watchtower shack. Our land is private and so is the land that surrounds it so we think its the locals who know when and when we are not there. I hate thieves, I hate thieves, I have thieves!!! Just makes me mad when someone takes others property, what is wrong with these morons?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about the exact opposite of what I experienced yesterday. Here I am being offered a treestand. I'd be a fool not to graciously accept your offer. I'll send you a PM with my address and stuff and I'll send you some money to cover the shipping. Again, thank you very much. This is one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me.

Mirage Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Re: ROBBED! hey that is realy bad that people stole your stuff man i would be mad but your right what can be done have a trail camera to watch you trail camera? I have found tree stands in the woods public land woods and not even touched them. In fact i go the other way because i dont want to mess up the area. I dont know what goes through peoples minds when they steal. I would be affraid of being shot by someone for that, Hey good luck this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: I would say it was all probably stolen at night..... the flash would have given away the location of your camera....(something I've always thought about, and one reason I don't have a camera yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted September 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Re: ROBBED! the camera was far away enough off the beaten path it would not have taken a picture if they stole the stand or if they were just going down the pipeline/4-wheeler trail. It was back in the woods with no markers or anything leading to it. I can't imagine they watched me put it up. I was quite suprised to find it gone.

dartonman Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: ROBBED! Ill be shipping the stand this weekend....Ill check on the price for the steps being shipped, if its not cost effective for the steps, Ill hold off on those, but the stand will leave Illinois this weekend, have a better season buddy....al(PS)....I have been helped 10 fold on this forum by wonderful people, my kids have been given camo, custom turkey calls, and even a shotgun....I haved truly been blessed, and to make you think, one of my dear friends that died a couple of seasons ago, by his own demise, told me once " A happy child shares"......God Bless gang, and if anyone lives near Maine....send steps...lol.........al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainebuck Posted September 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: ROBBED! thanks again Al. I've been wanting to upgrade my existing steps to a new climbing stick anyway so I can do without the screw in steps. Like you said, those probably weigh a lot more than just the stand. Thanks for all the kind words guys. I'm pretty much over it at this point. Hopefully I'll have one on the ground either tomorrow or Satuday.

Ozarkgal Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: ROBBED! Sorry to hear about all of the robberies but here's one for you. Year before last we had a treestand stolen and this year we had to move out of our house and we had to put everthing in storage including my husbands 10pt deer (big mistake) I had been checking it everyonce in awhile I thought it was a good location because the cops protrol it every 30 min but I went to go get our hunting gear out for our season that opened yesterday and we placed the deer in our recliner so he would not get damaged and I opened up the door and no deer my husband was right behind me and he was P____!!! We called the cops and I think he was just as mad as we was. But we put up a reward and checked all the pawn shops but no responce. And the weird part about it was all of our camo about $1000 worth was sitting in plain view. I said that they could have taken everything in the storage and it would not have upset us that much because it can be replaced but his 10pt can't. Well I hope that everyone that had stuff stolen can get it back or aleast find the stupid a__ people who done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBUCK Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Re: ROBBED! Al you are a real class act. Nice job. That is what this forum and "real" hunters are all about.

BowJoe Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Re: ROBBED! Darton man that's one of the nicest things I have ever seen on here or anywhere else. That's why people are proud to be American born and Country by the grace of God. You won't find people like this in any other culture. Thank you for making us all proud.

HeviShot Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Re: ROBBED! I had a stand stolen from a remote spot.The person that tookit had patterned me and was watching me go back and forth until he figured out where it was.He eventually got caught,and I was able to get it back.He had about 4 or 5 stands and camera's from different people.
