Human Factors
I reported on CTAF my final approach to land at 1-mile and 1/2-mile. While on very short final less than 1/8-mile and 200 feet AGL; a Aircraft X announced he was departing and entered the runway from the run-up area (A6). Other aircraft holding in the run-up area called on the CTAF for him to stop. However; the pilot did not acknowledge the CTAF calls and continued to pull onto the runway; apply power; and begin takeoff. I commenced a go-around at about 200 ft. AGL; sidestepped to the right; and announced my actions on CTAF. The Aircraft X continued takeoff roll undisturbed. My sidestep to the right put my go-around quite low over several aircraft operating and holding on Taxiway A. As I climbed out over Taxiway A; I noticed the departing Aircraft X drifting to the right of the runway centerline; and I was closing on the aircraft. To avoid further conflict; after checking for traffic; I turned a sharp right crosswind at mid-field; overflying the transient parking and several airport buildings at about 600 ft. AGL; and reentered the right downwind pattern (standard at BDN). I safely landed without further issue. The departing Aircraft X never made another radio call.This conflict has occurred several times at BDN; but this is the first time I have filed a report.
Light aircraft pilot reported executing a go-around at non-towered BDN airport after another light aircraft taxied onto the runway and took off when the reporter was on short final.
