Real nice pics! Good luck with that big one this fall. I wish I dared leave anything of value strapped to a tree these days, just to much stuff stolen from me to even bother trying anymore.
I hear ya it sucks. So far this year I haven't lost anything but my dad lost a camera and a stand. I went to check a buddies stand with him and it was gone, We followed Atv tracks right to a guys house and there it was up against his garage. When we confronted him about it this is what he said "Its been there all year and nobody was using it(no kidding it wasn't deer season) so I took it so nobody would steal it" what a scum bag.
Oh ya we got the stand back, Hung it back and the same spot and told him he better hope it doesn't come up missing again.
