duck blind eduquite
« on: October 30, 2010, 01:54:21 AM »
so i was beating around the bush and found some duck blinds obviously marking somebodys favorite spot as thiers... whats the "rules" or ediquite on duck blinds you didnt build, and arent public...? is it first come first serve or what? i dont want to set up shop and have the "owner" come in and be pissed at me for taking his spot... these arent just twigs and grass, im talking about the 2x4 style with a bench and a roof... they are in the middle of no-where, but i just wanna do right by the other guy...
catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright

If it is on public land the rule is first come first use. Hopefully the builder knows this little rule.

This issue keeps coming up and some folks think that building a blind gives them some sort of ownership.  That is not the case.

See

(Washington Administrative Code 232-13)

it in part reads:  Unattended blinds are available to the public on a “first-come-first serve” basis.   Not only is the land that the blind is built on public but the blind itself becomes public.  Whoever built the bind donated it the people of WA and they have no more claim to it than anyone else.

Thanks for posting the code, but it does not take the worry away of some hot head. We had a thread on here 2 years ago of an incident over private land use. The fellas with permission were worried about the man going postal, ended up calling in the Snohomish LEOs and the land owner I believe closed access.
All over a duck! I just don't understand.

like others have said if you build on public land the blind belongs to the public. anyone who tries to put ownership on a spot or blind doesn't have a leg to stand on and tough noogies to them!

if there is a primo blind built in a good spot and no one is occupying it then I always take it and never think twice if I think thats where I need to be. of course in the past I have had people showing up a half hour before shooting time looking all sad coz I was in "their spot" and if they are polite I invite them to hunt with me.

here's a tip on blinds on public land. generally the more elaborate the blind, the closer it is to the parking lot. the closer it is to the parking lot, then usually you will get less shooting in since everyone knows about it and pounds it. if you find a mediocre to super deluxe blind on public land after marching for a couple hours chances are you just struck gold.

Put in the time to get prepared the evening before, get up early and get out there!!! ......so what if you have to spend more time in the dark waiting for that magic shooting hour...you'll have the blind.....tough luck for those who slept in!!!!!! And good for you if you do get the blind! Just means that you love waterfowl hunting!

It's called jumping a blind and it's totally acceptable in any and all duck hunting circles. You might get some flack from somebody that thinks its theirs or whatever, but they'll just have to get up earlier than you next time. In the mean time, make sure you call anyone that tries to talk you out of "their" blind a crybaby and remind them that "the early bird gets the worm, b*tch." That's duck hunting on public land.

Just be courteous and try to work it out. If the other guy is being a *censored* asking if he'd like to hunt together can diffuse the situation sometimes.

I just went though a similar situation where a friend supposedly has a lease through a real estate guy. We show up there are two guys with 3 12 year olds getting ready to hunt "our spot". We worked it out hunted together. The kids had a good time and we are sharing the area until the lease situation gets worked out.

Pissing each other off isn't going to help anyone.

I won’t hunt with strangers, especially *censored*s or Dick Cheney types.  But leased land is a totally different situation; there should be some sort of agreement worked up between the lessees on how to handle such a situation.
