CSV.1.3.310 Portable Raised Platforms or Stands Regulated

A member or duly authorized non-member may hunt from a platform or stand, subject to the following provisions:

(a) Portable tree hunting stands and blinds may be used provided they are removed completely from the property no later than ten days after the end of the deer season except an owner of sole-heirship property may keep permanent tree stands on their property.

(b) Unoccupied tree stands shall be affixed with the user's tribal identification number or tribal hunting identification number, attached to the stand in a manner so it is clearly visible to a person standing on the ground.

(d) No member or duly authorized non-member shall use nails to secure the platform or stand to the tree or otherwise cause damage to a tree(s) by the placement or erection of a platform or stand or by any other manner while climbing or hunting from a tree. Careful pruning of limbs less than 1 inch in diameter on a tree in which a tree stand is used shall not be considered causing damage to the tree.

(e) No member or duly authorized non-member shall prohibit any person from using a stand that is not occupied and being used by the member or duly authorized non-member, except that the member or duly authorized non-member retains the authority to remove and relocate their stand at any time. No member or duly authorized non-member shall prevent the owner of a stand from removing their stand. A stand placed on tribal lands does not reserve that location for the exclusive use of the member or duly authorized non-member whom placed the stand.

(f) No member or duly authorized non-member shall relocate a stand that was lawfully placed by another.

(g) Any stand which is untagged shall be immediately seized and confiscated, and the owner shall be subject to citation for a violation of the provisions of Section CSV.1.3.310(b).
