Spitfire125,
That REALLY Sucks!!!!
I have hunted this area for many years myself & never ran into this problem.
Any specifics of which make, model, markings etc. that I can keep an eye out for in my travels.
I do drive around B-B twnshp a lot & stop to talk with many hunters that I do see, so I can keep an eye open for you.
Shoot Straight

A bad day hunting, is better then a good day of work
I have finished my hunt for this year in Wisconsin. My brother-in-law called yesterday and told me one of our stands and ladders had been stolen. Chained and locked at top and bottom . Stand had been up for about 30 days.. Had a stand and ladder stolen 2 years ago from the same location. Don't really see a lot of other hunters in the area so don't know who is that hard up.

I chain my stands as well. Not going to stop someone who is determined but will stop the casual passerby.
I also remove the first 8-10 feet of tree steps.
Last year I had one go missing(further up the tree), as someone either used my stand or tried to take it not realizing it was chained. Either way that's not right. I don't think it is ok for someone to use my stand when I am not there. I took the time to do my scouting. I took the time to clear the shooting lanes. I took the time to haul the treestand to where it is. I had to make the money to buy the stand, the steps, the chain, the lock.

You can take the man out of the woods but you can't take the woods out of the man.

I have had that happen as well.
I found a deal on Warren & Sweat climbers a few years ago so I bought 5 of them at 1 time and all were stolen the same year.
Puts a bad taste in your mouth to think either the Anti's are doing it or a fellow hunter.How can one brother steal from another

It sucks. Switch to protables as they are light weight and easy to install. I use the Cabela's $89.00 version and have 2 stands and 6 portable chain attachments. The backpack straps make it easy to carry and I just strap my little backpack to the stand and walk in. Take 5 minutes to set up. Love it and don't get it ripped off. I leave teh chain attachment in place and carry a spare in the pack just in case.
