NKYHUNTER

I have a question for all... especially for blind hunters.
My freind and I hunt on the ohio in NKY, and have hunted this stretch for several years. I have noticed a major increase in duck hunters in our area, especially blind hunters.
We have experienced a major problem this year, it seems that every time we get our boat in at 4:30 a.m., go out find a good spot, set up and put a pot of coffee on the ol' coleman we see truck headlights in the distance. Now keep in mind that it is now about 7:oo a.m. Down comes a couple of hunters to sit in their blind (that we did not know was there or did we see it on our way in).
They can clearly see us with our latern out, our spotlight and the lab making all kinds of racket on the bank. They dont bother to say a word to us, set their decoys out and go on their merry way. they are now about 50 yards away from us and i could probably throw a decoy and hit their blind with it.
Now my main question when is enough enough. I didnt get up at 4:00 am to be sat right on top of by another hunter. I have great respect for the blind hunters in our area that are good sportsman. We respect each other and stay out of each others way. My question is to you, what would you do in both situations. If you were me and if you were the blind hunter.
All i ask for is a little common courtesy to the dedicated hunters.
