Reply to comment by xxxDog_Fucker_69xxx in what is up dog hunting in Vermont? by zoolilba

Although, according to the Vt Fish & Wildlife website, you still need permission to set that tree stand, whether the land is posted or open. https://vtfishandwildlife.com/learn-more/landowner-resources/private-land-and-public-access

We’ve have no problem with hunters on our land. Most are respectful and even though we do not post, we had a hunter call us for permission to go after his dogs, that had treed a bear on our land. No problem. We do have a problem with finding lawn chairs and tree stands and other paraphernalia left behind by hunters who did not ask for permission for the stand, and who leave trash behind. It’s a reciprocal respect. We respect to right to hunt, as long as the hunter respects our land.

And like you said, a respectful hunter will come and go, and you’ll never know they were there.

People leaving crap is definitely an issue. I hunted during the last rifle season. the same blind and tree stands were left for over 2 weeks… not once did I see someone it and I started early in the day and would leave early like 2 hours before sundown. Never saw anyone in them.

After the season went back and all of this gear was still just left in the woods. Ended up going into the portable blinds no tags or info. My theory is they got a deer and left since I was two/three miles in the woods.

Needless to say the blind is now sitting in my garage for next season haha

So you stole someone else’s property? Not something to brag about. If there was no identifying markings, you may assume it’s the landowners. I’ve got 10 stands around my property and a dozen game cams. If one catches you stealing my stuff expect a visit from the police and charges.
