After a reoccurring series of vandalized deer blinds found in Dunn County, Wisconsin, authorities are warning hunters to inspect their blinds for damage or tampering in the interest of their own safety. The first incident occurred in late September, when vandals actually flipped a homemade deer blind on its side, and spray-painted the structure with the words "All hunters are bastards," and "A.L.F" - the acronym for the Animal Liberation Front. Upon speaking with the organization, Fox News reports the North American Animal Liberation Press Office "was very pleased to hear about the destruction of multiple hunting stands in Dunn County."

Information: Criminal Damage to Property and Safety Concerns.
Recently the pictured deer stand was damaged in the Township of Sherman, two other deer stands were similarly damaged in the past two years in the Boyceville/Downing area . The recent damage was tagged with "ALF" which is the acronym for Animal Liberation Front. The Sheriff's Office is seeking information on anyone having information on who may have caused this damage. We also want the public to be vigilant as deer hunting season is approaching to inspect all stands for signs of damage or tampering to ensure your safety.
In a statement to Fox, the A.L.F said, "It is an absurd idea that there is sport in lying in wait for an unsuspecting animal to stroll by and then blowing it away with a high-powered weapon. People who do this sort of thing are despicable and need to be stopped." The second act of vandalism was reported on October 18. The Dunn County Sheriff's Office received a similar case of criminal property damage after another deer blind was found spray-painted with the apparent logo for the Animal Liberation Front, as well as a message which read, "Hunt the hunters."
