I have packed my fair share of garbage out of there too. Sad to see a public hunting opportunity taken from us. You talk about that blind being a magnet for sky busters and others who can't hunt with respect. You say good, just remember they all just lost their spot and will be moving on to your next spot. I understand your point but feel you are looking at it the wrong way. A blind that has been there for years and wasn't hurting anybody should have stayed. Great place to take kids to sit up out of the water and have a shot at a bird or two. Most importantly, it was another opportunity for hunting, regardless of how many birds came through there.

I get that the blind isn't but that isn't a show-stopper.
That Blind had only been their for a year or so, lots of ways to buld a quick temp blind that works, just like piles of shotgun shells, built blinds seem to attract a lot of attention, less people "hunting" their would make better hunting for those who did need a good spot to take a kid. I hunt mostly private land, the real loss is not a blind being torn down, it's land and spots being taken by unethical littering hunters, who idolize the waterfowl stars on TV, who's "hunting style" educates birds & ruins oppertunitys for others. I posted multiple locations on our farm in eastern wa due to the amount of garbage ect I found at the end of the season, before that they were open to the public, that's a reall loss, blinds are temp and can be rebuilt but those who bully other hunters, litter, or sky blast at everything, those are responsible for the loss of access.and quality hunting oppertunitys.
Which blind are you referring to? The blind at the edge of the trees was still there Saturday. It, and the others, are (were) in disrepair and not even safe. They should be removed or maintained, not left for the elements to batter and leave loose boards, exposed nails and rusty wire ends strewn about for dogs and hunters to step on.
