Ok so let me get this straight

[RUGER]

With the leftover blinds, where people drew them and decided they didn't want them and just had to say naw never mind.
Now instead of ONE in person draw and have the system that worked now there will be THREE in person draws per WMA AND we get screwed!!!???

Good job morons!!!!!!

Not necessarily even decided they didn't want them, but failed to return NOI for the hunt period. I have not seen a list anywhere of what tier 1 blinds weren't claimed to be tier 4 for the year. The in person drawings per early/mid/late season draws are only for tier 2/3 spots. Reelfoot had 2 sites/dates that weren't claimed for early season. And one of them is their early opener.

To be so hell bent on doing away with the in person draws, they sure are having a lot of in person draws. Bureaucracy at its finest.

Would you rather they just did another online draw?

Is there any recourse for not turning in your NOI?
There certainly should be.

No I would rather they do away with this tier bs and go back to the in person draw for blinds you can hunt all year.
Say what you want, taking the top 5 (or more) blinds away from everyone that actually wants to duck hunt for the year is wrong, period.

What Ruger said.

In this current system, not returning an NOI should disqualify a person from entering for a certain period going forward. I'm hearing of a lot of folks that put in for sandhills only to not make any attempt at going after them.

I would say at least 5 years.
