[QUOTE="WilcoKen, post: 5666478, member: 16287"] 40 years of a draw system that worked fine. The only inconvenience was sitting out in the heat 1st Saturday in Aug but it was fun to hang with friends and anticipate. They threw that proven system away forver. The new draw system has been plagued with glitches but worst of all has lent itself to poorly built/brushed blinds and empty blinds if drawn by someone far away. They wont travel every weekend in Aug-Sept to build and brush it right. If a local were to have drawn it, the blind most likely would be built and brushed good and used much much more. Likewise many out of towners wont travel 30-60 days a season to the blind they drew. Now sometimes that can be an advantage to locals if you dont mind hopping like a fool (4AM on the river etc). Another thing is that long distance drawers dont know the subtleties of the area around the blinds. Last year I met a couple guys that were from afar and drew a Tier 2. Nice enough guys but one only brought hip boots. A couple hours later I saw them at the ramp and he was soaked. Said he didnt know water was waist high at blind. He went ahead and kept going cause he had driven so far to hunt. But they had to quit after 2 hours cause he was wet and cold. Blind sat empty the rest of the day--there was ducks that day. Tier 2 could not be hopped. The 3 year track record of this new system is horrible compared to the system that worked for 40 years. [/QUOTE]
