Tree stands left in the LBL woods

[JCDEERMAN]

Back in the day I'd leave a $100 bill laying on the ground if it was anywhere near Printers Alley!

Same here, man!

Ladder stands, loc on stands...in violation of LBL regs...No name, address, on the stands and left beyond the 5 day after season closure rules to be out..I come across them daily back in the woods as I take down illegal flagging, "Bright eyes", and other items left...The trash on the side of the roads and in the woods has gotten totally out of hand...

If you want to see trash take a walk through the high water areas along the lakeshore. You could fill a landfill with all the crap that settles there when the water goes down. Absolutely sad and disgusting.

That's how it is in the Miss River Bottoms. You can be walking 3 miles deep off in the woods and come up on a kids play set and only God knows what else. That's just how things are on these big river systems.

The banks of the TN NWR are covered in trash.. like you can barely step without stepping on something.

Natchez Trace is also pretty bad with beer cans from atv riders, joy riders, and horse riders

It's pretty sad our public grounds are like a dump. Chickasaw Refuge, John Tully, and Sunk Lake in Lauderdale are the same exact way. The only difference is that it's spread throughout thousands and thousands of acres and not just on the bank.

I think the first time I hunted there was 2000. I walked up to a tree with a hang on stand overlooking a salt lick. Last time I was there, about 4 years ago that stand was still there and grown into the tree. Area 13 btw.

We need to go back and see if its still there.

I imagine a good part of that came from the Waverly / Humpreys county flood last year. Still a lot of clean up to be done.

There is a ladder stand about 200 yards off Ft. Henry Road that hasn't been taken down for at least 4 years..Whoever set it started a mineral salt lick about 25 yards from the stand.

I was there in 2019. i cant imagine what it looks like now after that flooding.

I went to a couple of places in Arkansas this weekend. I wonder what duck hunters success rates are for collecting decoys.. I found them every few minutes of walking

Just back from LBL...more illegal tree stands found in Area 15...no sheds found today...

I'd imagine its just as good over there as it is over here. I have a stack 3-5 dozen of filler decoys that I've found scattered throughout the woods along the Miss River. Bunch of old school decoys too. I'll shoot them full of foam and paint them black. Works pretty good as long as you're not walking in somewhere.

Looks like some folks are just using LBL as a semi-free hunting lease.

Spent the weekend at LBL with Big Al turkey hunting and snapped a pic of the lock on I referred to. Still hanging on a very dead tree overlooking the salt lick.
