[QUOTE="rsimms, post: 5262405, member: 1534"] I complained that I believed blind-hopping should be allowed. He explained that Commissioners felt that hunters who drew a 7-day blind deserved the opportunity to let their spot "rest" a day or two within that 7-day period, without being hunted, if they so wished. I agreed that was reasonable, within a 7-day hunt period. I'm 67 years old. It's tough on me to hunt three, or even two days in a row ;) .... much less seven days in a row. I shared, however, that in my opinion folks who applied/drew for the 3- and 4-day blinds should adjust their work schedules or whatever and hunt the blinds they draw... OR others should be allowed to "hop" them. He didn't necessarily disagree with that. He said TWRA staffers are supposed to be keeping precise data that will show how many "hunting days" were available among the Tier 2 blinds.... and exactly how many days they actually got hunted. I do hope they are, indeed, doing that (accurately). If they are depending solely upon the hunters' post-season surveys, I question how accurate they will be. Will hunters who drew a Tier 2 blind admit that they didn't hunt any (or all) days? Regardless, I will look forward to seeing the results. [/QUOTE]
