Default Please remove. Thanks!

Real nice move by a couple of DB's. Blind was stolen from private property at RR224 and Twp510. If you know of it, please let me know. Pics to follow. Maybe pics from the trail cam too! Any assistance will receive great thanks and a blind built for you.

If it was closer to Sylvan Lake, we have a famous family that's been in the NEWS lately, can hardly wait to see the pics.

It's sad that some people don't have respect for other peoples property. Good luck in finding the thieves or at least the blind......

I hunt a few properties around there and actually have 2 blinds set up on RR224 and TWP 510. Sorry to hear about the theft. Are you in Strath or Leduc?
At another property close to yours I had a pic of a stranger on my cam, but I doubt he's the culprit, as he didn't steal the cam.

Default Blind

Really?! WTF?
This is the actual blind. Picked up. Carried to a vehicle around 0130!
Please let me know if you know anything. Thanks!

That's a big blind. I imagined a tent.
I would of thought that you wouldn't have to worry about that one.
LOSERS!
Karma will get them eventually.
I'm really sorry to hear this bud.

Hey that was my kids bus stop shelter.

It got taken from my driveway 2 years ago...



Just kidding.


There seems to be little respect eh?

How out of the way was the blind located? Was it visible from a main road?

That's a lot of work to go to to steal something that big (unless you could drive a truck right up to it - but even that would still be work). Although it looks well built, I'm thinking there's not a lot of profit to be had there - which may call into question the motivation to steal it. My hunch is it could be anti's and quite possibly located in the general area. Might be worth putting out word in the neighborhood.

I can't believe what some people do. I was out hunting some property with my BIL that we had permission on and found a popup blind in the back corner (put there by another guy that had permission) that had blown over in the wind. We put it back up correctly and tied it down a bit better so it didn't get wrecked. Not sure why folks aren't more willing to help others out.

Not to be a dick, but did the land owner know about the blind?

We hunt on a guy's property with permission. Saw him the other day and he was ****ed that another guy (who he had given permission to previously) had started to put up a blind without asking first. The guy no longer has permission.

I had a blind trashed and a buddies trail cam stolen too. The blind was similar to yours but I wrapped it in weaved grass (costed 200$ on ebay). I get to my blind opening day of rifle season (it was placed 3 weeks in advance) and find some A hole stole the grass matting then destroyed the frame of the blind. soooo angry. Then we noticed a trail cam is missing. I figure buddy was carrying out the grass in hand and noticed the trail cam that was recording him, so he took that too. Oh man when I speak with that SOB, god help him if he doesn't have my stuff to give back! I was thinking of pressing charges but I know there isn't enough 'evidence' to have the charges meet a conviction. SO, if you know the individual who did this, or you are him. Be warned. I know who you are and I'd stay clear of your Rochester hunting grounds. Permanently.
