[QUOTE="younggun308, post: 4993738, member: 4042"] Someone else will likely have summarized everything more succinctly by the time I’ve typed this up. Cheat sheet for “tiers”: Tier 1 - Season-long blinds; hopping allowed Tier 2 - TWRA-built, brushed, and maintained; no hopping Tier 3 - blind “sites;” hopping allowed Tier 4 - blind “sites;” first-come, first-serve only Instead of one single computerized draw, there are 4 total draws, each with their own application: 1) Season-long 2) Early-season 3) Mid-season 4) Late-season I like that instead of a single computerized draw, they divide the season into 3 parts, each of which is its own draw. You can probably put in for more hunts that way. It was also a no-brainer to give each member of a party a draw entry, rather than making a party count the same as an individual. The trade-off is no sign-ons. Guess people could see that from a mile away after this year’s inestimable individual applications. Probably goes the longest way to preventing blind-selling and bringing every non-hunting cousin to put in. The million dollar question will be how they’ll decide what tier current season-long blinds end up in. How many will change? We’ll see if it’s lip-service or real. I would like to know how to give public comment (haven’t done it before). I’d strongly suggest they use whatever system they use statewide, since it’s unclear to me that it will be. An early slide on the presentation suggested only Units I and II will be affected. I say this since I much prefer the way the proposed Tier 3 works to the current Chickamauga draw system. If all there is on a WMA is stakes in the ground, they should be able to be hopped. Right now nobody without a card can be there even in the event of a no-show, and it’s awful. [/QUOTE]
