Regs on ground blinds?

[Dblstks]

Was wondering if anyone knows of regulations on ground blinds? And I don't mean whether they can be used or not.
My question is about having others (people you don't know) sit in your blind. I know in Nevada if you set up a ground blind you need to put a note on it that says when you will be hunting the blind. If someone comes upon your blind during times that you are not there, they can legally hunt out of your blind.
Picked apart the regs and did not see anything saying one way or the other. Personally I would never sit in anyone else's blind but I would not put it past some folks.

Not ethical, but people will do it. We have some real winners in Washington State.

I dont think it is really addressed except on WDFW land where blinds are first come first serve.  Page 90.

If it is on public land, it's legally free to be used by anyone: first come, first served. There are no regulations.

Are you talking about a pop up blind or a blind some one spent time to build?

[Wilderness Addict]

I went camping the other day on public land. When I got back to my tent, someone was already there. They said first come first use, sorry buddy. This is a joke, but it shows the stupidity of the law.

You're suggesting that you should be able to claim public land for your sole use by putting up a blind?

[biggfish]

Its open for whoever gets there on public land that's why I plan to use a pop-up or my backpacker blind.

Absolutely not! I am saying that this is my property and I put it there for my use. If you want to put your blind up next to mine, hey that your right! When you"re at the beach do you lay on other people's towels? Most people bring their own towels.

To all ground blind and treestand owners: I will never use your property without your permission. It's just the way I am. I respect you and your property!

If you have it set up on public land it is free to use by all who use the land.

"I am saying that this is my property and I put it there for my use."

If it is your private property then anyone else would be trespassing.

I would like to see how that turns out for you or any individual who tries to use another persons blind or treestands. By your logic if I find your trail cam on public ground it is fair game....

Legally it is. Ethically it is not in most cases

Did I say I would do that? NO! I simply stated that if you leave your property on public land it becomes public property. You don't have to like it, I don't care if you. It's not my law and has nothing to do with me.

Bob and turkey feather you are quick to say it is the law, but what law. I have found nothing on the forest services website or a United States Code to tell me otherwise. Care to share what you know?
