I do most of the time, depending on where I’m hunting. East Texas, hell no. West Texas, yes

Absolutely not. I have my huts on our farm and our woods is almost in the center of the section but could be walked into. I do leave other shooting supplies and aids.
Have a great day.

I have, but don’t make it a habit. Typically I don’t because there’s no telling what I’ll see on my walk out. I may leave my bow in the stand depending on the weather and how long I’ll be gone.

No way! Because of the carnal nature of man and a life long experience in the worst of mankind I hardly leave toilet paper at my stand... come to think of it , I don't even do that.

Until coming across this thread just now, I have never imagined anyone doing so...I mean, the thought has never crossed my mind that someone would leave a firearm unattended anywhere. The whole idea is just an anathema to me.

No people like to trespass and steal. My cameras take pictures sometimes of people I don't even know. I have 3 cameras setup at the back of our property in lock boxes. The back of our property has a gravel road off the main highway for the gas well workers. People like to sneak in and trespass on private property especially
during hunting season.

I have never left a rifle in a stand. I usually never leave anything in a stand. However, for the last two years I'm on a lease with locked gates. If I know I'm gonna go back to that stand (box blind) I have left my backpack a time or two. especially in bad weather.

Never a rifle.
I have left bows a few times when I know I'm returning to the same stand the next morning
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

No. I hunt my own land and always carry my rifle out.
