Portable tree stands, portable blinds, and climbing devices that do not utilize nails, wire, or bolts for attachment are allowed from August first through March thirty-first. Portable blinds may be used during the spring turkey seasons established in chapters 41:06:13 and 41:06:15, by licensed spring turkey hunters. One screw-in "T" may be used to stabilize a tree stand. Removable screw-in steps may be used to access a tree stand. The name and address, phone number, or customer identification number of the owner or user must be on the exterior of an unoccupied portable blind or tree stand and legible from the ground on a tree stand. Other elevated platform devices that are not attached to a tree must meet the requirements of this rule for permitted dates and for labeling if left overnight or unattended.
