I put a ground blind in on some public land (that you need permission to hunt) the week after opening day of FALL bow. It's been there ever since. I haven't hunted in it in a few weeks, and went to pull it out over the weekend. Imagine my surprise that 1, it was still there and 2 that this lovely note was on it. I do really appreciate that the blind was still there, a long with the chair and I appreciate that the person who left this note, took the time and great effort to write the note, say thank you and to attach it to the blind with string. Really, I do. BUT... that blind has been in the exact same spot since the week of September 15th. It's blown over a few times, but always staked in the front. The tree stand set up, however has not been there, for more than 2-3 weeks. BTW, nice set up. I'd move a few trees down the row, though. That corner gets a lot of foot traffic.

The blind was removed, and I appreciate that he didn't take anything or anyone else for that matter. The please and thanks were also a nice touch. I'm not complaining either, I just think it's funny that I got a note.
 
I am not saying he is right but to me it Looks like a polite request IMO.

Seems like he was worried about a safety issue 25 yards is pretty tight.

Maybe moving the blind would allow him to shoot to that area without worrying if anyone is in the blind. You would not shoot him in the tree if letting one go.

If if I were him a would have pulled just because of the pressure alone but hunters should work together
