If the land was public land, or at least public access shouldn't the highseat be posted as 'no access' or 'private' etc?

Other than in Northumberland the only time I have actually used them was in Australia when hunting hog deer in the Boole Poole National Park (under ballot). Deerhunters had built some 'high-seats' in the trees over the decades usually near a water hole. This is totally public land and no ownership of high seats at all.

The countryside is very thickly forested and stand hunting is about the only way to have a measure of success. Some of these high seats I only tried once. Having ascended one and then tried to descend I did not feel like experiencing it again and some were pretty rickety and very high. Mostly were just planks nailed into a tree trunk to form a ladder and another couple planks to form a very unstable seat. Not always nailed well into the tree either. At one waterhole an unmodified tree formed a much better shooting platform but pretty uncomfortable.

I did score a nice trophy, not from a high seat though, from leaning against a tree trunk on a slight elevation. So comfortable it was hard to stay awake!
