You often read about trespassing hunters setting up tree stands and game cameras on private land that they think that they can use without permission.
Land owners often remove or destroy these. Sometimes the trespassers have the gall to come to the land owner and demand their property back. Obviously though it seems difficult to do this without admitting that you have been trespassing and hunting illegally.
It would seem that all that the land owner needs to do is demand identification from these people, and they would then meekly depart empty-handed. I suppose that they could take their chances with the local LEOs but I think that few would try.
However, since tree stands don't have serial numbers, and identifying markings can be scraped off, why can't you just sell them?
Seems like poetic justice to me.
