Did you go out to your stand this morning to deer hunt just to find it missing?
It's my hopes that this webpage will assist deer hunters in recovering their stand by listing it here and hopefully someone will recognize it as stolen so it can be reported back to the owner for recovery.
This site is currently for Scott and Clinton Counties in Iowa only at this time.
If you recognize a stand that may be listed on this site as reported stolen PLEASE contact the owner via their E-Mail address so they can hopefully enlist the help of Law Enforcement, do not contact the site administrator. If your stand is recovered PLEASE then contact the administrator so the stand information can be removed from the site.
Feel free to include a photo of your stand if you have one and I'll add it to the listing .
If you find your stand missing you can E-Mail me at: mymissingstand@gmail.com with the below sample
information at which time I'll post it on the site.
Information will be accepted from the stand owner only and the administrator
IS NOT responsible for the theft verification other than the report from the owner.

If you discover what you think is a stolen stand take the time to enlist Law Enforcement in the recovery of it
Don't just take it upon yourself to start recovering it as it will probably lead up to an altercation
These thieves need to be identified, arrested and charged so they learn
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND
