In NY You may not leave your blind or tree stand on public property when not in use . If itās there after hours it can be taken by DEP . Also if another hunter is using it the next day after you abandoned it your SOL you canāt chase him/her out .As I have said before things are different in different areas.
What are the laws out there on your duck blinds on public waters or deer stands on public lands?
contact local or county authorities for permission.
My permit is my permission.

We donāt agree on much, but in this case, you did wrong, and were following the RULES and Etiquette, there are evidently some on here that are not familiar with cutting in the NFās
Iād cut with ya any time, weāll just have to avoid discussing Politics

My main objection isn't the coat, but the rules. For instance one area I frequent was hit by the sand springs fire. 10's of thousands of acres of burnt ponderosa pine. The problem isnit can't be cut until it hits the ground. By the time that happens it's dry rotted to the point it's useless for firewood.$20 for 4 cords of wood. Inexpensive and easy to get.
I've never been asked for a wood permit, but my buddy and I were out with his trailer, and he was asked and didn't have it at the time. He took his permit to the Ranger Station and the matter was over. Reason why he/we were asked is because we were cutting from a slash pile left over by loggers. Ranger said that technically is was still the Mills property, but admitted that it was to be burned when the snow season arrived. He cut us some additional slack because we were not making a mess. We'd drag out a single log to buck and not disrupting the very very large pile to be burned.

How is it they know how much you cut?
That is is like saying I was only going 45If they ask, you tell them. I've never been asked.

Wind downed and dead standing are what we cut. It helps the forest to remove the dead trees. Nobody is out to get each other and squeal to the Forestry Service.
Excellent detailed and informative answerItās a lot like reporting fish caught, basically on the honor system, but they can check your daily catch
In wood cutting in the NFās, you get a Permit, and buy tags for however much wood you intend to cut, up to the household annual limit
Each āTagā is good for 1/2 a full cord, after you load your wood, you attach however many tags you need for the amount of wood youāre taking. For example I can haul 2 cords in my trailer, so I I would attach 4 tags to the back of the load, where they would be visible to a following vehicle
Each year the tags are a different color, and they donāt honor unused tags from previous years, so you try not to buy more than you think you can fill. You can buy more tags if you need to, but the ranger station opens later than I prefer to head up the hill to go cutting
On your permit, there are places to record how many tags, and their serial numbers, for what you took each day. I have never been checked, but they can. There is a State DOT truck weigh station near where I live, and in the past, they were known to make wood cutters cross the scale, if they appeared to be over a vehicleās weight rating, but it has been quite a few years since Iāve heard of that happening, but itās not uncommon to see grossly over loaded pickups on the hwy
