If you come back the next day and find it occupied, you leave, and find somewhere else to duck hunt, in a location that will not interfere with those using the blind that you spent your time and sweat to build for opening day. Having come across some pretty unsightly messes on crown land, the notion of "Leave no footprint behind" rates at the top of my hunting ethics, as it should all hunters. If I came across what you have suggest on public land, I definitely would not hunt there, however I would immediate report the situation to the MNRF, I'm sure they might like to talk to whoever left things behind. Yes, there is always one of us out their, so make sure you cleanup when you leave.
If you wish to monopolize a piece of land, you would do well to get a deed for it, that way you get an added opportunity to deal with those, who have difficulty understanding the meaning of No Trespassing signs.
You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.
