[QUOTE="WilcoKen, post: 4965496, member: 16287"] Did the 2019 drawing format remedy the buying and selling? If the 2 draw system they used then helped stop selling then I don’t see why we can’t go back to that format. I guess someone could buy the blind but they’d not have their name on the card. Presenting ID at blind would show that and you could enforce the rules. Also what’s to keep someone from buying a temporary spot if TWRA goes with the no-blind format? If a guy draws a good spot and wanted to sell spots at his stake what’s stopping him? If TWRA allows say 6 hunters at the stake could a man not sell 5 spots for a price? Unless they say 2 hunters max at each spot which is absurd. To me, a big part of duck hunting is about being with friends at the duck blind. If they build a new draw system based off this survey they are going to ruin that aspect (and a lot of other aspects too). Just so a guy that hunts 3 days a year can have a place to come—if he even shows, and if he can find the blind stake at 4:30 AM on a WMA he’s probably never been on or knows. Just do the computer draw like this year but insert the 2 draw system like 2019. Im pretty sure it can be done. Then a guy from ETN that works at UPS, EMA etc can have the same chance at a blind like us 21% guys that are satisfied with the old system. [/QUOTE]
