Wister pit blinds?

[Driz]

Does Wister have any actual blinds like pits or hogwire or is it all BYOB? Only going to be my second time ever hunting it this coming Sunday on a ressie after finding this out my first time out a month ago.

Build your own or using existing ones built.

You will most likely find an existing blind made from Arrowweed. I usually bring some extra arrowweed or other material to spruce it up.

Wister actually has 3 hog wire blinds or they did....S20-1&3 ( CWA reworked this field) and 312C-1...Hazard Unit is part of Wister's hunting sites and they have pit blinds...Although, you're not required to use them (you can move100' from stake).

We used these pop up ones this year out there, was happy with it.

For a Sunday? all you will need is a lot of LUCK. You would be better off in the sweat line on saturday IMO.

GOOD LUCK!

This....better yet, if you can, hunt Saturday sweat line and Sunday on your Ressi.

Get your own arroweed, it grows everywhere. Bring twine or a couple 2' bungees & make a bundle or 2. If you rely on a blind already being built it may not be there. Even the pit blinds in hazard require bringing your own cover.
Is it just me or do people not want to work for what they hunt anymore? Not saying this is you because you are new to Wister. If you hunt SJ much then that explains it.

No one enjoys having to get arroweed & haul it out along with all the other stuff we bring, but the alternative of having to hunt a fixed location in a pit blind or any other fixed location blind, can suck when the birds want to be 100 yards away. Do the work & adjust if needed. If not, there are other places to go that provide pre-made blinds.

And if you decide to use a pop out or panel blind, please add some natural cover to it. The above photo should be obvious why. Being in the shade is key!

That photo reminds me of when we were at Wister a few weeks ago. On the drive back to the check station around noon there was a guy standing on the side of Scaup close to where it turns onto Davis, He had thrown some mallard decoys into the water right next to the road, the water wasn’t even cleared, it still had the natural bushes growing in it. He wasn’t even trying to hide, he was just standing next to the road with his shotgun. He must have been a dove hunter who just assumed duck hunting is done the same way. I regret not stopping to talk to him, I should have warned him to stop at the very least! I wouldn’t want to be him when the warden stops by!

Sprig and H527, The photos and comments provide conclusive evidence as to why waterfowling needs to be mentored by someone that knows. I can't thank NBK enough for getting me started way back when (thirty years plus) and then 'Just my game" myself and NBK working together to expand on what we were trying to do. Best thing you can do if you want to hunt waterfowl is find a mentor otherwise you stand a good chance of being "that guy"
