Is it legal? Honestly I don’t know but it seems like a building with concrete footings probably not? My personal ethics ( which I realize have nothing to do with this) I wouldn’t do it. Also, I personally hate seeing other people’s  blind's, tree stands, even trail cams (and yes I use them too). But that just goes with being a public land hunter. It’s bad form leaving stuff out there long term and also bad form sitting in someone else’s stand or blind IMO. I have no problem hunting the area if no one is around but I will personally do it from the ground or leaning against a different tree.   :tup:

I know sometimes they construct stuff like this for disabled hunters.

Two kinds of structures my opinion.
Trapper shack
Blind

They might be going full trapper shack. :chuckle:

No big problem, just most of us try to be respectful when we encounter other hunters and give them space.  With the pop ups you kinda a feel like you're intruding on another hunters space, but when they leave them up for the entire hunt it seems like they might be taking advantage of hunter politeness to reserve an area.  I would never touch one nor would I hunt over their feeder, but not sure if I'd ignore and keep hunting the area or not.  Obviously not if they're actually in the blind.
 
 
Seems the pop up ground blinds have become a problem in some areas.  Kind of a gray area with them.  Know of a couple in our area that got left up pretty much thru the archery hunt, had feed set out.  Not sure how I would've reacted to them had  I been actually hunting, but was a little surprised they survived the hunt.  Both were quite visible from the forest service road.
 

What's the problem?

On a side note, I kinda like finding old blinds/stands. Fun to look at and wonder about who/what/season/kills were made there.(As long as they are not a huge eyesore)
I know of several well built/hidden/ and equipped cabins that have been there for years. Some are quite elaborate.........and.......WELL hidden.
