SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST CRAPHEADS

[Zradix]

Went out to my natural material ground blind on public land last weekend.
..some people need a kick in the rear.

My blind was all but destroyed. All the walls pulled down.
I had a few carrots out by the blind. about half of them were tossed inside the blind and some were balanced on some of the sticks that used to be my blind.

The area all around the blind looked like someone was kicking/raking the leaves in about a 3 foot wide circle path around the blind. So it's all scented up.

...and here's the kicker....
..there were a few carrots left out of the blind where I put them.
They put them them in a nice little pile...and then left there own pile.

..yep..big ol human crap on my carrots.        

Now I'm not without a sense of humor..

..but this is just enough to tick me off.     :mad:    

..Makes me wonder what they did IN the blind that I can't see.

The last 3 years I've had something happen to one of my blinds.
I hunt different spots about every year..I come back to some yearly if they look good though.


Thanks for letting me rant.

Sounds like some anti-hunters looking to make your life miserable.

Bummer that stuff happens here on pa state land. See it all the time. I would never leave anything personal out in the pa public woods. Every once in a while I put a hang on up. Knowing that I don't care if it gets stolen $30 special. I don't even use trail cams. Climber in and out or on the ground. I can't even build brush blinds here anymore. I feel for ya. That's a good way to ruin an outing.
I have even stopped using bright eyes as guy will follow them right to your spot and sit in it.

Thats MICHIGAN public land for ya. Im sure it happens eldewhere but seems to be so many stories on here about MI public land idiots

[Robert Marvin]

maybe they didnt like the bait being out-not antihunter,anti-baiters.

[Zradix]

could be..
I'm semi anti bait myself.
This year is looking to be a year of hardly any hunting time.
..so I was trying to up my odds a bit..

[Red Beastmaster]

I don't build forts anymore for that reason. Just keep it as natural as you can and no one will bother it. Carry your seat or it will be gone too.

I lost two stands due to bright eyes leading the thieves to my spots. They even took the bright eyes!

[dnovo]

I've taken the bright eyes and ran them into the nastiest, thorniest stuff I could find. Let them follow 'em

[Zradix]

lol that's funny. Hope some thief had the "work" ethic to follow them.

Sorry to hear about you others having troubles.

[J. Holden]

:(  I'm sorry to hear this.  Just don't understand some people.

Pinko, commi, thumbsucking, tree hugging, fish kissing,, bed wetters. That is who did that to your blind.

[Bonebuster]

Behavior like this is WAY too common on Michigan public land.

Happened to me in 1990 in MI- including a gun being pulled on me!  Walked away from MI public land rifle season hunting forever.  Never looked back. . .

grandfather had a problem with anti's back in the early 90's. He had several of them follow him into his blind one day and just sit around him and make noise. So the next day before he went out he filled a super soaker squirt gun with fox urine, he was also a trapper, and when they showed up at his tree stand and started giving him a hard time he just soaked them down. Needless to say there were a bunch of mad people so they went and called the dnr on him and when the officer asked him why he did it he just looked at the officer and said this old dog was just marking his territory. The officer just laughed and told the anti's if he caught them out there again he would haul them all off to jail. Just one of many stories about that old man who lived his live outdoors.

When I hear stories like this, it makes me not whine so much when I have to pay for a lease down here in TX!

That just sucks, and your thread title is completely accurate!

Suckheads. All of 'em.

 You aren't far from camp, I can show you a spot or two that I've never had a problem at.

Someone did put a lumber blind on public in an area I hunted and posted it about 5' around, though. That was funny.

[cmh]

That's a perfect example of what happens in a politically correct society ...... I'm all for going back to a biblically correct society  

[Fisher Cat]

Biblically correct?  At least they "turned the other cheek!"

Sorry to hear about this.  Either they followed you, or your blind was too obvious.  Years ago, when I trapped in the desert, I went to a lot of trouble sweeping my tracks out around each set.  Not for the animals sake, but to hide it from other people.  They were expensive traps. - John

[reddogge]

Freaking teenagers I suspect. They think that stuff is funny.

After season, I had that happen... it was a nice set up and I had some encounters. I could only hunt this patch of woods in bow season...the owners family hunted it in rifle. They found the site and trashed it for me.  I found it scouting for turkeys the following early Spring.

Nothing like plain old fashioned jealousy to spur poor behavior.

I marvel here in the PA woods when I find a big ole ladder stand way back in some PA Game Land public spot.  I guess someone worked really hard to get it in there and nobody wanted to take it out.

Friend had his hang on stand in a tree, on PRIVATE LAND and left his tether rope around the tree above the stand... when he got there, some enterprising and likely young set of arms/legs had leaned a dead sapling against the stand and shinnied up the danged thing, got into the stand, didn't mess with the stand, but took the carabiner off his tether rope...    

Sometimes, it is just malevolent behavior.  Buddy was sitting in his folding seat and was dead cold in the December gun season here in PA...took a 5 min walk and looked back to see some gent grab his seat and walk off with it...

They breed, they vote
