Legally, taking the stand is NOT stealing. When he put the stand on
land he did not own (or had permission to use), he *legally* forfeited
the ownership of the stand (to the landowner).
What's more, it doesn't even have to be on private property where he is
poaching. I don't know about other states, but in Texas, if you put up
a stand on public property (ie. build a duck blind in the coastal
marshes), that blind is at that point OWNED by the state (public).
Anyone can use it. They could even dismantle it and relocate it
somewhere else.

As everyone else said, yes, this is the first step - find out FOR SURE
if it belongs to anyone that has permission to hunt there. But if they
don't, not only can you remove it - you SHOULD remove it.

You always have freedom of choice, but you never have freedom of
