Can I leave my tree stand up overnight on state owned and managed land (including state forests)?
No. All tree stands have to be removed each day at the close of hunting hours. Tree stands on state owned and managed land must also have the owners name and address or department identification number written in English attached to the tree stand in a manner that is clearly visible to a person standing on the ground, and kept legible at all times. This applies if the hunter leaves the tree stand unattended during the day. If they are with their stand the whole time, this signage is not necessary. Note: rules and regulations will vary for county and federal lands.
