[QUOTE="Bgoodman30, post: 4969013, member: 18480"] I can tell you this the move to a 3, 5 or 7 day permit is a very real possibility and supposedly the commission has the votes to implement this.. The meeting is in Parsons at 10am on Thursday. The are so many factors involved but I think the easy change to eliminate the pressure and bad behavior on WMAs is to eliminate 1/3 to 1/2 of the blinds, online draw and ENFORCEMENT of illegal selling. There is a lot of culture and tradition at play but I think most of the WMA's would have to be retrofitted to be able to implement a Bogota/ TC type system. Its not that simple though because of the geography and topography of the regions.. We aren't mostly zero grade like SEMO, AR, MS.. However if folks are shown that planting corn and flooding it up to the ears isn't always the answer then I believe the attitudes will change... We have had much better success when we stopped planting corn.. If they retrofitted these WMAs to more shallow water moist soil impoundments it would create opportunities to hunt temporary hides, tree lines etc.. Staked temporary boat blinds sites is a terrible idea IMO... Having Joe duck hunter from Knoxville and his six buddies to boat blind out their 14 foot alumacraft for a week may not end well! What about the 2 boat blind access like some in Tigrett and OH? Terrible idea without some major changes... [/QUOTE]
