There were some who did, some who didn't. My opinion is all blinds belong to the lease, not the individual.

Contracts can say different

People crossing the border don't care either

Yep, I do. Had things stolen, broken etc. This year alone I've had lease members break in to my stand, break my chair, and break two steps. And no one admits to being the one to do it although two have admitted "hunting" it.

Yep,
We had a ranch manager hunting from them. We would find spent casings and water bottles. We also had a poacher use one. Sure they can hunt next to it or sit in the trees and watch the feeder, but it is like locking my truck, I ain't going to make it easier on anyone.
I let a fellow leaser and his kid hunt pigs in a blind one day. Next thing you know everyone had the lock combo to get in. I had to change the combo. I showed up one day and a kid (16 year old wanting to kill some pigs) was hunting in my blind that was popular for hogs. He said he didn't think I was going to be hunting there. We had a little meeting after that.

Yes, it's outfitted with heater, office chairs and decoys....unlocked door implies that contents have no importance and you wouldn't miss them. No reason to temp those with weak morals.

No, but I don't expect anyone in either of mine if I were to go to them.

I always lock and dead bolt the door on my blind. I don't have much in it to steal,but I spent too much time and money building it for other guy's to tear/trash it up. My friend that I lease the place from was mad because I wouldn't give him a key to it.
I look at it this way,I pay good money to hunt there and I was given an area to hunt in. Nobody else should be hunting my area of the ranch,I don't hunt in theirs.

Couldn't have said it better

We don't lock any of ours. Against lease rules

Yep!

Lease Police will run thru your area at prime time or ram your blind if you don't follow the rules...just what I have heard.

The one I locks in RS we don't have a Range Officer there

I keep mine locked. It isn't far from a road and it would be easy to walk down and steal the chairs or the heater, or just break things. The lock could be cut, but nothing is fool-proof.

Yep!

I lock mine. I've had a lot of trouble with poachers and recently thieves...I want to known, from a distance, the padlock is still hanging on the door. There is not a lot that scares me, but opening my blind door and finding a poacher or a crack head in there does.

We have a lease member who does not feed year round, has a 12 x18 feeder pen and generally does nothing to improve the lease. Out of frustration with him I lock mine at times. If he was to improve his own area I would not mind him hunting my blinds.

Shame him.

I purposely didn't put a ladder on my high rack so short people couldn't hunt it.

I lock mine.

Lock mine, wouldn't want my vienna sausage and Oreos to come up missing!

On a group lease with friends and the blinds are owned by the rancher. Everyone can hunt any blind. "Blind", in the modern sense, would be a term applied very loosely in this case. Not much there to lock.

When I've been on a lease with guys I don't know, you bet, I lock everything.
