Didn't see your thread when I posted mine.
We out.

Wonder if we are forced to have a party of 4 for the year long draw like they are forcing us to do for their quota bs.

Nothing would surprise me.

What's this about? Have to have a party of 4?

In the TWRA's infinite wisdom to combat their fancy Tier 2 blinds sitting empty more often than being hunted, they decided to force you to have a minimum party of 4 in order to be able to enter the drawing. No more applying as an individual.

Woods.

So even if I win I still lose lol

 

[THE DUKE]

So no more individual entering the drawing is this right?

Wow…that's incredible. I guess at this rate if they keep changing the rules every 6 months they'll eventually end up back where they started.

Hmm good question. I was under the assumption everything was 4 person applications. I Need to check into that for sure lol

 

[THE DUKE]

Yea I was wandering about the tier 1 blinds that are season long blinds also.

That's the truth brother

 

[West_Tn]

Just checked it. You do have to have a party. Individual is not even an option now.

 

[West_Tn]

Alright so I went through the whole process and applied. There is no option so apply as an individual you have to either join or create a party. However you can create a party, but not add anyone to it and it allowed me to make all my selections and submit it. Question is if I don't add 3 more party members will it void my picks and kick me out come draw time??

Hmmmm seems to me the in-person handheld draws were….I don't know A TON EASIER to comprehend lol. T-Dub and the Great Cluster Duck project lol

Yes. I emailed twra. That's what I was told

 

[THE DUKE]

Yes. I emailed twra. That's what I was told

So will you get kicked out of drawing if applying as a group and you don't add anyone?

 

[drake799]

By the time the application closes you must have at least 4 in your hunt party. If you do not your application will be disqualified.

Thanks
TWRA

 

[RUGER]

Like the draw is even gonna be accurate lol

Just to be clear this includes the tier 1 season blinds? That's what I would be applying for.

Correct. I made sure I put in my email this was for the 60 day season long blind draw and that was the response I got. I actually just looked about applying myself and you can't even try to apply individual. It ask if you want to create a group or join a group

 

[WilcoKen]

I saw the proposed in-person award day and I'm assuming they are still doing that. So Here's one for you: why in the world would you go to in person "award" day? Whats the point?

In person "draw" day I can see the point in. But in person award day when you already were notified electronically.....I like vendors and all but I'm not seeing it. Throwing a bone to us I guess. Thanks TWRA--that makes up for the last 3 year's trainwreck. Maybe all the individuals that dont know 3-5 to add to their party application this year can meet new people there for the 2023-24 draw.

 

[THE DUKE]

Well great now I can't apply because I don't have a group that's seems fair. Y'all be looking in the classifieds coming up. Thanks TWRA for another great decision made by someone with a piece of paper and no common sense.

It's an attempt to throw us a bone about the in person draws, and the email notification is supposed to be after the in person announcement. I predict that if folks don't show up in person for the announcements, that they will use that as justification to not have them in the future, and say it was a vocal minority demanding it. They have gotten the online process they have wanted for years, and they won't give it up easily if at all.

I'd say your prediction is spot on.
