I’ve done this numerous times on different lots I have. I’ve asked the FG warden, and been confirmed. It’s your land, they left it on your land, it’s yours now, congrats on your new stand!

I own a lot of woodland, family has had it for over 100+ years. We don’t have it all posted except the pieces I hunt personally. It’s not legally required to get permission to hunt unposted land, but it is considered proper etiquette, though sadly few hunters abide by this. But even if you do flout the common curtesy of asking permission, it’s especially shitty to leave your stand up off season, as it’s damaging to the trees. During the season, I’d leave a note with a number attached saying “this is on my land without permission, I’m giving you one week to remove it yourself if I will” as a courtesy. Out of season, fuck that, for all intents and purposes they abandoned trash on your property, that shits yours. If next season they come back raging that you took their stand (they won’t) tell them to take it up with FG, which will tell them to piss up a rope.

There really is no “out of season” yet. Night hunting is open until the end of march.

Night coyote hunting starts Jan 1 through march 31st, and to the best of my knowledge and personal experience, no one coyote hunts where you seasonally deer hunt, as coyote hunting is heavily though not solely based on baiting, though sometimes you call them in, and you don’t generally like to attract coyotes to the exact spot you also hunt deer.

The coyotes don’t run the deer off long term, particularly mid winter when they’re most active. It’s just the natural cycle of nature, by next fall the deer will still be there.
