Thanks. I misremembered.
there is a heavy penalty for the company to Fail to have the blinds In place on time

Here's something that might not have been thought of; has anyone ever stepped on a dock that has composite decking on it when it's got frost, frozen precipitation or ice on it? It's impossible to stand up on…. Better have plenty of grab handles.

I assure you there has been a lot that has not been thought of. There is a reason nobody has ever seen blinds built like this before. Duck Hunters, who can be the most resourceful and also spend more money than makes sense simply would not build a duck blind this way. Period.

…And at the total cost that it's going to end up costing the State they could've bought and/or managed existing State property to "increase opportunity". We are talking a very large figure.

From my understanding it's not costing "the state" anything, TWRA is pulling the funds from a federal wetlands grant. A grant that was meant to improve wetlands to help waterfowl. This rodeo doesn't do anything to improve wetlands habitat for waterfowl. I don't see how their allowed to use the funds for this but hey we all know the gov't does what they want most days.
On your local WMA's does the corn look better than it ever has in the fields that are now tier 2 TWRA blinds. The corn at Camden looks phenomenal in the fields TWRA took over. Way way better than it's been in many many years.
Makes you wonder how much effort they actually put into it in years past.

I would imagine a memo went around to everyone involved in the upkeep of the wmas to ramp up effort on the blinds they stole from us. I know in the past some of the corn crops I've seen looked like it was hand sown and whatever came up is what you got lol
Has anyone got a chance to see any of the new blinds yet? Or how far along they might be on them. With this rain coming I hope they're pretty far along. Grounds gonna be wet for a while if we get the rain they're talking about

Looks like the actual blind is going to be less than half the footprint of what there is to hide. Good thing the state is logging a portion of a local WMA. They have plenty of brush semi-local.
I guess I don't get it?
Since they are building on site, why not make it one big room then the boat hide on the back?

I believe the right side in the first picture is just floats for the boat shed. I don't think that's going to be a room or anything. I may be wrong, but kinda what it looks like.

That requires too much common sense, not much of that rare talent being applied in this whole ordeal.
I predict this circus will be talked about for years to come even after the folks whom are responsible for implementing it are long gone
By design, much easier to float two sections in, then put joist across the top, which creates the middle boat shoot. Be much harder to float a much wider box into some places.

Good luck blending and brushing these if that's what they gonna be.
