Anybody seen the new blinds?

[Levee Jumper]

Seriously.... Anybody seen one of the famed $30,000 blinds yet?

They have started working on floating blinds at Gooch today.

Woo weee can't wait for all that increased opportunity!!!

If that's the contractors tractor the deal paid enough to buy a $120,000 tractor. Not bad.

Well, to be fair I hope whoever got the deal has capable equipment…

I agree. Waders and a John boat full of metal would be a bad look at this point.

Im picturing them pulling up to some ramps with a couple big pontoons and outboards while they stand there and scratch their heads..

They are definitely not going to replace A4 at Tigrett with a blind like this. Not unless they start with 4-6ft pices in small boats.

They better get busy. Calling for rain next few days.

Gooch is the easy ones. I want to see Tigrett. Also no floaters were mentioned in the original plan. All were supposed to be permanent built structures.

Like they are gonna do what they say, or say what they are gonna do.
Need wide and sweeping changes in our wildlife "agency" bad.

 

[drake799]

Wonder how much cheaper these are to build compared to what they said they were gonna do

With all those dock floats, I would say this was much more expensive.

I talked with someone from TWRA this afternoon that should be "in the know" on this. He told me the rumor that the contract had to be redone isn't true. As far as he knew, everything is still on schedule. I guess we will see in the coming weeks.

I'm curious to see how truthfully they update the blind replacement project status at the Wildlife Commission meeting Thursday and Friday.

And these blind numbers represent what exactly???

I'm confused as well, since my understanding was there were to be no Tier II's at Reelfoot this coming season. So it doesn't make sense as a replacement schedule.

This sheet is the blinds that are being replaced this year and the time fame they plan to work on them and have them completed.
