Blind draw results

[big 8s in Weakley county]

Has anyone heard of anyone getting drawn? A guy I know said his uncle had got a call from TWRA yesterday awarding him a blind. All of ours still show pending.

Not yet. But seems like last year we heard back before July ended.

For some reason I had august second on my mind. Pretty sure I read it somewhere or watched a twra video

Pretty sure it's the same day as the Sandhill drawing, August 14th

For crane tags I think they're sticking with statewide, computerized draw only this year, the application period for which begins Sept 1st.

 

[Mud Creek]

Yes thats correct about the 1st, I just could've swore I saw something on the calender about the sandhill permits and blind drawings on the 14th. I looked at the TWRA website and all it said was early August.

 

[Titanxd17]

Heard it was the 2nd of next month. What blind did they get?

How would anyone already be drawn?

 

[tickweed]

I've never heard of TWRA calling anyone drawn, unless its an Elk tag.

They haven't

That might be for the Sandhill Zone permits which were traditionally hand drawn in the vicinity of Chattanooga.

Statewide permits will open up in early/mid September when the temporary blind drawings start

Only practical effect of the SE zone now is a slightly shorter season with the closing of the season for the weekend of the sandhill festival.
They might as well get rid of the zone entirely if they're not going to concentrate the draw there, either with more tags or weighting applicants from the SE. Can easily keep tourists from seeing sandhills get whacked if they close the season during festival weekend in Meigs, Hamilton, and Rhea County only.

Seriously. And since I've drawn tags the past 3 seasons and hunted about as far-opposite from S/E crane zone as possible, I would say the whole thing is dumb. Up the permits to (3) birds, and then we'll really be cooking! Literally

I thought the same thing but the guy is a older guy not one just to make stuff up. They called him but don't know if he misunderstood or what.

I have seen several reports on Facebook of them calling almost 500 people that had problems with their blind picks, to get them straightened out. If I read it right, all of them had issues with the app and getting all their picks in.

I've seen that as well. Looks like a lot of people had problems. It's a shame there is not a more simple way like pulling names out of a barrel in person or something.

Preach on man.

This probably explains why I noticed the deadline was showing July 22. They must have added a day for these applicants. It was my understanding it was to have ended on 7/21.

I got a buddy that is kin to a commissioner
They called him yesterday and asked him what blinds he wanted.

Seemed odd but that's what he said?

Heard he's holding up the draw until his kid finishes his eeny-meeny-miney-mo game.

Sure would be nice to find out today instead of Monday. Just to give us a little extra time to see what we're up against if we have to build or repair a blind, or if you really hit the lottery, just have to brush one in.

I think we found out on Friday afternoon last year. Maybe we will know something later today.

 

[TAFKAP]

Maybe this stupid Tier system is screwing things up. As of 5:00 Friday, no news on any draws...duck blinds or deer/elk

 

[Antler Daddy]

Not sure what the issue is with TN, but I get the quota draw results within 7 days in KY and GA. It is only like 1 day in GA.

TWRA website lists Aug 2 as the date for notification, I was just hoping they'd get it done today so we could look at blind/blind site this weekend. Just means waiting a little longer, but dang it, I'm getting impatient, lol.

This is what happened.
