Dak.  Even though I consider my self a N. Dak. Resident (was born and raised there and still consider it my home).  I am not up on the regulations concerning tree stands left on public lands.  Remember public, means it belongs to all of us not just a few.- - - Updated - - -<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In looking at the NDGF regulations you should turn this in to the appropriate law enforcement agency.  Below is the section covering tree stands on public lands as written by the NDGF department.  I hope that this helps you. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tree stands and ground blinds. No person may construct or use a permanent tree stand or permanent ground blind on any wildlife management area. Portable tree stands and portable steps, screw-in steps, natural tree stands and portable ground blinds may be used. Portable tree stands and portable steps are defined as those that are held to the tree with ropes, straps, cables, chains, or bars. Screw-in steps are those that are screwed into the tree by hand without the aid of any tools. Ladder-type stands that lean against the tree are portable stands. A notched board placed in a tree crotch is a portable stand. Natural stands are those crotches, trunks, down trees, etc., where no platform is used. A metal or plastic tag must be attached to each tree stand and portable ground blind. This tag must display the owner’s name, address and telephone number or the owner’s hunter education number. Tree stands and ground blinds do not preempt hunting rights of others in the vicinity of the tree stand. Tree stands, steps and ground blinds may not be put up before August 20 of the year, and they shall be taken down by January 31 of the following year. Stands, steps and ground blinds not removed by January 31 are considered abandoned property and are subject to removal and confiscation by the director or the director’s designee. Any person who violates this section is guilty of a noncriminal offense and shall pay a $100 fee.</li> </ul></blockquote>
