Regs on ground blinds?

[CedarPants]

I sat in a pop-up blind that wasn't mine on public land once.  Was set up in a pretty good spot overlooking a nice funnel, and from a distant ridge I had watched the guy enter it 2 afternoons in a row.  On the 3rd afternoon you could imagine the surprise on his face when he stepped into his blind and saw me sitting there, warming myself with his portable heater.  I let him know that the wind was all wrong for the way he was approaching the blind and that he'd just been stinking the place up every afternoon.

This was of course a good buddy of mine though, so I wouldn't recommend trying this on someone you don't know

I guess I should not leave my truck then either in fear of someone else using it.

Well Ill make sure to take over your camp next time you leave it unattended some real tools on here

If you read the last paragraph , it would appear the more I make my blind site look like a camp the greater the expectation of privacy.

When you put the satellite dish on top and fire up the generator, the deer might get a little suspicious.

Funny thing I have tried it on deer and they see it right away.
But elk walk right by it or stop in front of it. Ummmmm.

Oh we'll that's another thread.

I've made 3 ground blinds this year for elk season. If someone was to come along and use em I don't have any expectation that they would leave just because I came along. I'd just chat'em up then move off. I might hang out for awhile if I came across a ladder stand and I thought I wasn't going to fall out of it; and if the owner comes along off I go. Same with sitting in a ground blind. I've only ever come across 2 tho. One a ground and one a ladder. the ladder had been there so long the tree was growing around it. The ground had been up for a season or two already. I got itchy feet; I gotta be moving to be hunting.
