No one has ever taken one of mine.
I make them out of super heavy gauge steel, welded, 3/8" to 1/2" chain, and almost bullet proof.
I mean literally 60# to 70# or higher in weigth.
I have always said if someone can get my stand out of the woods then they deserve them.
I need the atv to get them to my spot and the winch to get them up and down from my trees.
The thing that seems to walk away is the screw in steps.
I must of lost $80 worth of steps one year.
I went to 1/2"x8" lag bolts as steps and have not lost any of those ....YET....
Its not really the loss of $$$ its the violation of having something stolen that bothers me....
I feel your pain/anger bro...
