[QUOTE="poorhunter, post: 5063928, member: 16537"] In Indiana where I grew up the reserve draws were for one day a year and you didn’t draw a specific blind but a “choice”. If you drew #1 for the day you put in for you got first choice of blinds, if you drew #10 you got tenth choice etc. On the WMAs three days a week were reserve hunts and four days a week were daily draws where you drew a choice number and picked blinds each day. The blinds were state owned and were for 3 hunters max. Same for the goose pits in the surrounding fields. I did this for a few years but the hunting was spotty at best and when it was good you had at least 100 groups at the morning draws trying to get one of 30 blinds of which only 10-15 had a realistic chance of a good hunt. Then we just quit hunting in Indiana and drove to North Dakota where my parents grew up and hunted pretty much wherever we wanted and killed limits almost every day. This was from ‘95-2001 and even in that short time we could see the winds of change coming to waterfowl hunting up there. “Guides” were leasing up thousands and thousands of acres and cutting out the poor DIY’er’s. I have no idea what it’s like now. Same thing happened in Canada too. Haven’t waterfowl hunted since then because way too many waterfowlers are jerks and too much of the resource is claimed by those with that attitude. These threads have confirmed that...not saying the ones commenting on the threads are jerks but way way too many waterfowlers are. [/QUOTE]
