TWRA out there working hard to increase those opportunities!

Holy smokes, let's burn down a blind and kill some old cypress while we're at it.
What's the go-to method other than burning to get rid of an old blind?

Wouldn't hurt to pull it out in the hole before you burnt it. Of course that would take more effort.

Interesting it let you put in for it.
Well I just assumed it was one that it allowed you to put in for on the yearling application. I wasn't sure if it was a year long blind or a weekend blind.
Completely ridiculous. Oh and how bout TWRA deciding not to build blinds at all of the ones they made quota hunts. Decided that was going to be to much money and they are using they existing blinds that WE built that are still in good enough shape.
Wasn't A4 in good enough shape as well?! Seen people saying it was. Maybe needed new floor
Look at that picture there. Wouldn't it been easier to replaced a floor instead of a whole blind. Looks like a nightmare to build a blind in

Yes that does look like a nightmare. Heard the company that got the bid to build the blinds is from East Tennessee and has never even been to the bottoms. They don't know what they are getting in to.

Where did you get that information? Was it on the TWRA website or just rumor? Just curious.
The group I am in has rebuilt half the blinds in those bottoms. I if a blind needs a total rebuild we take it apart in pices, load it in boats and take it to a high spot to burn it. Or a few we have taken everything out and loaded on trailers and dumped it in a off site location. If private people can do that surely the state has enough resources to do it.
A4 was built new 5 years ago with all new treatmented lumber. All it needed was the plywood floor replaced and would be good for several more seasons. $500 in flooring would have been good. But now they will spend $30,000 to replace it with a blind with no cover to hide it.
I would probably say the ones ordered to burn it/them are just following orders to keep their job and the people responsible are sitting back in the ac giving each other reach arounds. Either way TWRA as a whole are looking dumber each day. They are pathetic.
Not on the website, but I was told that is what TWRA has said. I'd say it's spot on or else they would have went ahead and burnt the rest of the blinds they took at Tigrett and not only A4.

Just curious, but how do you know it was TWRA that torched this?
Because they did....

Ok. Just a rumor.
Wow looks like the waters low
So you think they are going to actually burn every perfectly good blind that is now tier 2 and build them all before season like they said?
They realized they bit off way more than they can chew and will utilize the blinds already on site and spread their building out over a few years. Mark it down.
