So I guess what I'm hearing all of you saying is that if you make a place nice and neat, establish order and invoke a limit to the number of hunters per zone, it will draw large crowds, provide limited opportunity, and allow yahoo's to inevitably beat down all cover in the huntable section of that zone. I agree that does happen to some extent, but from my own experience hunting in a different state, if the area was all that great, there would be way too many unwanted strangers breathing down your neck every time you go, if it was open to all. I've seen these areas get so overcrowded they became a ghost town in just a few days. Bringing your own portable blind would be the least of your problems, if you get picked good enough to go to one of the better spots that gets heavily used and abused, and you would be able to report people who don't have any respect and chose to trash the place, because it would be on file who hunted there. Other than for disabled people, I don't understand why they put permanent blinds in public areas, when you can just find cover and hunt behind it, or bring your own cover, simple as that. They always end up getting trashed for various reasons anyway.
I have only gone duck hunting once since I moved here in 2003, and is was difficult not knowing where to go, or where to avoid confrontation, I had nothing to shoot at, but it was still awesome to be out there. You guys always refer to the Chico area to make all of your points, but if you asked people around the country, when a place is really good, a draw is the only way to keep hunters in check. Sorry if you don't like what I am saying, but I'm just trying to bring a little wisdom to these posts. I don't claim to know anything about hunting in California, I'm just commenting on what people around here are saying.
