Catahooligans, why do you brush your duck blind with pine saplings?

I don't get it. I've hunted Catahoula wth a friend and it goes against everything I know about duck hunting 
Pine saplings to brush cinder block blinds in the middle of the marsh, more black milk jugs than decoys, no one ever picks up the decoys and the blinds are 200 yds apart. I've even seen pine sapling garages to park the airboat. I guess it works, but why does everyone do it? Because the blind next to them does?
I only ask because I saw a couple guys cutting pine saplings and putting them in their boat on the side of 165 this morning. I know it was for Catahoula

Extremely easy to cut , stays on limbs for a long time , and easy to break off and tuck in the hog wire . We use it on pits also .

Because we know ducks don't take Forestry.

If EVERYONE does it, I'm guessing it looks pretty natural to the birds.

From hunting there most of my life I can tell you it don't bother the ducks. Pines are readily available and easy work with. My brother and some buddies took 8 kids this morning and missed full limit by one

Now if you don't use that you stick out like a sore thumb.

How long do they stay green for

Yeah I'm not saying it doesn't work. It's just different from where I'm used to hunting in coastal marshes and flooded timber.

Haha I can't imagine ducks seeing a blind covered in roso cane and thinking 'this doesn't look right, let's go check out that pine tree blind surrounded with 200 milk jugs'
Different areas require different techniques though, the full stringers speak for themselves

I have actually wondered the same thing through the years. It seems to me that you could use switch cane or something like that and it would blend a lot beret than pine...
However, people have been using pine for decades ant it does work pretty well...can't be too critical of something that is that effective....
