Someone has set a blind right next to my stand

[walt]

Walking into that area knowing you guys are there is messed up. If someone is already there he needs to hunt elsewhere. I initially gave him the benefit of doubt with his blind, but not anymore.

   So did I.  Definitely not ok

I hate to say this but I told ya to move up the trail away from this guy ,kinda had a feeling that this might happen.Just wanted to say that before thread is deleted or locked.
Sorry for your luck hopefully something turns around.

Ask me how I know .
These guys don't care about anything.If they can't hunt there then they will just scare everything off.

Yeah I know you did but I can’t just give him my hard work and forget about it. I will continue to hunt it. If I’m going to have a bad hunt so Is he. It’s like training  a dog I suppose. If you let him think there’s no repercussions for bad behavior then they’ll continue and get worse. I don’t mind eating a tag for a season. Upon further inspection of my trail cam that looks over the area he drove his Jeep all the way to my stand, even though there’s little more then a walking path width. (It’s an old abandoned road that’s hardly even noticeable anymore about a persons width left) and through out a bail of hay on Labor Day weekend. Parked under my stand. I now strongly believe he is completely doing this intentionally

Does the bale of hay appear to be over 10 gallons?  Most are.  A call to wdfw may be a good move to get back at this guy.

Setting right on top of someone is a low life move.

I hope you mature and see the error of your ways.

Are you saying I’m in the wrong? Or saying hope he matures and sees the error in his ways?

So no one came to sit in the blind this morning? Are you sure that the guy walking in on the old road and following the elk was the same guy that set up the blind?

[jakeweb]

He wasn’t following the elk. the elk we’re heading south from the north side of me. He came in from the south side of me in a line for the blind. When he was about 80 yards from the blind the elk busted, ran east and slightly south and he dove into the woods after them. Presumably chasing them through the thick from here to the next county. We waited about 45 min hoping he'd come back through. Wound up leaving a note on the blind asking if he could look up and notice my stand. And informing him he blew my hunt that was looking VERY promising this morning. I’m pretty confident it was the guy who owns the blind as he acknowledged my buddy who informed him I was back here and he blew him off and continued straight at me/blind.

 First off sorry about tour predicament So my truck was broken into yesterday and I seen my neighbor walking towards his car in his driveway that's across the street he got in his car and drives off.
 I then walk over to his place and put a note on his door acusing him of breaking into my truck.

Actually, what I meant was that if you started the site and have maintained it, people should respect that.

I get it's public land, but it doesn't pass my smell test to throw bait in someone else's bait site and hunt it.

I know it can be hard to find premiere public land spots, but sitting on someones bait site just seems wrong.

The flip side is that nobody can tie up pubic land.

I just wouldnt hunt someones site.

Gotcha, I agree completely.

Wound up talking with the guy at sun down. He apologized and said he’s removing the blind, and that he was confident that none of our stuff was there. I told him it’s been there most of the summer and he took it for what it is. Still not completely happy with the outcome as he said regardless he’s coming in in the morning and he’s just going to hike past us a ways. Just kind of a bummer having him hiking through the zone while we’re hunting it. But I can’t stop him and won’t try. I don’t believe anybody has the right to block off the land beyond what they are hunting. But knowing he’ll be in there possibly pushing the animals farther from us or potentially bumping them again while they’re in our zone kinda sucks. But at least he had the decency to come talk and not just barge through again unannounced. Ya win some ya lose some.
