It’s always frustrating when they have a hissy fit when you tell them to leave, like you ruined their hunt when they really have no right to be in there, they didn’t buy the materials, build it or trim the lanes.

A 2 X 4 stand on public land is a different matter and I believe that is what the op is asking about. You don't build a permanent stand on public land and have the gall to think no one else can hunt that location. I'll put my portable stand anywhere I want on public land because I don't know when some homie will be in his stand...……..although I tend to avoid a location where I know that someone's portable stands are being used regularly.
