    WI private 220 acres: 2 stands (hung one in April, one last weekend)
    WI public millions acres: 0 stands

    IL private 3 acres: 1 stand (hung it in April)
    IL private 10 acres: 2 stands (hung one back in '08...might have to check that one of for safety, one in April)
    IL private 110 acres: 0 stands as it is just a crop field and they (stands and cameras) disappear if I do leave them there...dang Huntley kids!
    IL public 10,000+ acres: do not leave any stands when I am not there; always hunt out of climber or hang-on with sticks

    I'll be getting my stands out over the next couple of weekends. I'll have two on my ninety acre spot and I plan on having two at my grandma's which is only three and a half acres. I do have a climber that I can use if the need arises.

    I have one hang on stand that I leave up on our hunt camp property year round. I just take the bottom of my climbing sticks off and keep it locked up in the tree. Then I have a ol'man climber that I use for state land. I am looking to get a cheaper ladder stand that I can leave up on state land for a week or so at a time. Going to have to be something I wouldn't mind loosing to thieves though. Things tend to grow legs and walk away from where you put em. at least where i'm at.

    8 trimmed and set-up stands that we will run with muddy stands and sticks. We then have another 14 hang-on sets and 2 locations that are ground blind potential. We have another 4 hang ons that can be put up in season, however, most newly identified in season tweaks will lead to using the mobil muddy system.

    Will be putting up a single ladder stand next week on some small acreage a friend is letting me hunt down behind his house on the creek, then have my Lone Wolf hang-on that I'll be using at the Geneva State Forest (WMA) so I don't have to leave it up and risk it being stolen. Easy to pack in and out and with those sticks I can get up in the tree quick.
