Interesting read.
If I see a tree stand I usually change course and go somewhere else........sometimes I go on over if it's empty and check the area out. Make a note of where it's at and try to keep my distance in the future. No biggy.
Tree stand shmee stand.....someone getting upset over someone approaching there empty stand and using the area is just silly. Don't like other people using the crown land that is all of ours while your stand is up..go buy some private land, problem solved.
Respect. Can't we all just get along?
