I just put my deer blind up for deer season. Now I'm trying to figure out if my blind is illegal. Behind blind is a pond about 85 yards away. I do have a hunting window facing pond. Am I to close to pond to legally hunt. I hard been search internet but I can't find info .

There is no law I know of preventing you from hunting a water source.
My wife must be a cross between a Indian and a bulldog. When she's not on the warpath, she's sitting on her butt growling.
We're burnin daylite.

you can sit in a boat or stand in the water and hunt if you want to.... (assuming it's your pond)
we have a blind on the dam of our pond

The only thing you would have to watch is if you put a feeder close to that pond and then want to hunt migratory birds at that pond.

Make sure you wear a life jacket.
