I understand it’s public land but in my opinion have a little respect. It’s a lot of work scouting and building a blind. I would never act like that guy did but I would at least let them know I built the blind. I been in that situation before and I went to pick up my decoys and the man that built the blind ask if we could hunt together and we still hunt together to this very day. Just saying have a little respect

There should not be any permanent blinds built on public land/waterways. The police jury should vote and authorize the burning of every permanent duck blind built in the parish on publically owned lands. Hunters should have to use a boat blind setup.

The act of building a blind on public land locks down a spot other people can’t set up on unless they hunt the blind. It’s all public land. I’ve hunted catahoula and the unspoken Cicero rules there but the best solution is to outlaw public blinds being built. The guy was way out of bounds and hopefully he pays for it.

They should suspend this idiot's hunting license for 2-3 years + a stiff fine to send a message to the rest of the guides who think they own the water

or they should do like most parishes and lease out their parish lands.. concordia gets 22k for a certain 800 acre tract and cameron gets 55k for a 600 acre tract.
it's some of the finest duck hunting in la they should make money off of it.

how are you defining a permanent blind?
willows and myrtles stuck in the mud?
a blind is a blind, by definition it’s “permanent” if it lasts the season which almost all will. If you are recommending that it be illegal to stand up natural materials in the mud on public land I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree
It goes without saying you don’t own that blind nor have exclusive access to it. First come first served but every time I’ve hunted a blind I didn’t build I’ve been prepared to leave if asked. And I’d never hunt someone else’s blind on a weekend or holiday

I’m not shocked some Guides down there think they own everything on public land!

Well rivers are public, so a pontoon or floating blind in the river is fine. A lot of rural areas people do that and there is no issue, especially in little bays or areas that aren't connected to the bank. Banning blinds on public land is a bad idea in my opinion. However, Louisiana has so many different types of areas to duck hunt, it should be up to the parish.
ETA: we've had people in some of "our" (blinds built and belonging to the people I always hunted with growing up) blinds and sometimes we'd let them hunt it with us, or point them to one of "our" other blinds or one that belonged to a friend who we knew weren't hunting that morning if they were respectful and reasonable. It all depends on how they act when you pull up to the blind. Had a guy from Alabama one time in a kayak paddle into our spread, we felt so bad for him trying to kayak hunt out there and driving from Alabama, we said just get in the blind with us. Turned out to be a nice guy.

Agreed.
Just get rid of the commercial use of it all together. No more fishing or hunting guides on public land.

I know. I was more referencing north of i10. I'm not familiar with hunting Plaq parish but I'd imagine its way different than hunting the flooded timber in NorLa or the Tensas, Ouachita, or Red River; or somewhere like Catahoula Lake or Boeuf wma. That was why I was saying the parish is probably in the best position to make that call.
ETA: I haven't been down far far south in a while, but I'd imagine tying a floating blind to a bank would be risky there, or even trying to just anchor one. Are these like welded framed blinds with wood exterior and coming out of the ground? I'd imagine from my memories of the coastal area, that those would be difficult to make, but what do I know.

Pro-tip: sleep in the blind over night.

First off, the last shot was damn near at the kids. Frick that guy. A pistol out of a boat like he was moving and it could have either came at them or more easily ricocheted towards them.
What kind of blind was this though? Just reeds in the mud and you park your boat between them and hunt out of it? Or a blind made with wood posts in the ground you hunt out of and only drive your boat to? Not that it makes a difference, I just don't really see how you make the reeds in the mud type of blind illegal? Is that littering?

As a 43 yr old avid waterfowler who used to hunt the wax religiously and still hunts passé a loutre, you are 100% correct. I’ve brought up the issue to commission members but no one is interested in doing what it takes.

it’s a travesty what the wax has become.
it was waterfowl heaven and now it’s a racetrack full of idiots
