Hi all,
I wanted to get your take of something that we found on Saturday.
Went rabbit hunting on Saturday. I hadn't planned it, but a buddy called me up and wanted to go, so I took him. Now this area is also where I like to deer hunt during the season and so I know this area well and have hiked all over this landscape.
During our armed hike we came upon a permanent stand that someone built on BLM land. Now to my knowledge of the laws and regulations, this is not allowed. This stand is in no way temporary because the main 4x4 post was buried deep in the ground and had the type of hangers people screw into the rafters to hang bikes in the 4x4 to use as steps, like a ladder. It looked like someone took allot of time and effort hauling all of this material out to this spot and built it where it shouldn't be. This was not private property, but BLM Land.
We took photos of it and GPS coordinates and plan to report this to the local rangers that I see almost every time I'm out there to found out what can be done, if anything.
Am I misreading the laws and regulations, or is it as I understand it?
