    I had 2 stands stolen in the last few years.One of them was a 20 foot enclosed box made of heavy steel square tubing and expanded metal.The stand probably weighed 250-300 pounds.It took 3 guys,a four wheeler,a block and stout rope to get the stand against the tree and then it was double chained and turnbuckled.Where we dragged the stand through the woods looked like a bulldozer had been there.When I found the stand had been stolen(I had been there 2 days earlier)there was not a bush disturbed,no drag marks or tire tracks.I dont know how they got the stand down and out of the woods,but they had to work for it.
