How about pop up blinds and climbers? Can they be used?

[nock1]

Yeah. Those are both ok. Pop ups are better left to the thick stuff where you can set it out and leave it for the deer to get used to it and won't really be seen by people

Cool. I've got both so. So stands and blinds can be placed and left up?

[nock1]

Only for 72 hours. I've talked to the feds and they said (unofficially lol) that if its left out, they won't take it, but if it gets stolen, don't com crying. Lol

BTW guys, I was up checking cameras today and was driving to our normal camp and found section 21 up in blazes. So if any plans to hunt 21, better keep looking. Lol. Really it looked to be about 100 or so acres when I left about 1:00

GRASSLANDS FIRE – A fire in Unit 21 of the LBJ National Grasslands near County Road 2690 northeast of Alvord had grown to nearly 500 acres late last night. U.S. Forest Service District Ranger Erik Taylor said the cause has been determined as a lightning strike of a tree from Sunday night. The fire smoldered until temperatures rose Monday, and the fire was reported around noon Monday. As of 11 p.m., the fire was considered 25 percent contained. Local fire departments assisting the forest service on the fire include Greenwood/Slidell, Sunset, Forestburg, Alvord, Decatur, Chico, Lake Bridgeport, Bridgeport and Paradise. A Precinct 2 grader, one contract dozer and two contract engines also assisted. There have been no injuries or structures lost in the fire.
