I'm hearing that 17% of the blind choices when to non-residence of tn

If that's true I'm going to have a major problem with TWRA

It's very true bud

I would be surprised if it was not at least 17% of the total people entered were from out of state if they didn't require a current TN hunting license.

I wouldn't be surprised either considering their motto "come one,come all MORE OPPORTUNITIES for the people". So if this is the case and they don't get a current license do those blinds become first come first serve or what. You figure with all the money they bragged about making in the ridiculous increase of license sales last year that they would want to require a current license but then again this whole mess has been like herding cats in a thunderstorm from the get go.

How would one know that 17% of the blinds went to out of state hunters?

Makes perfect sense when they let a group of 10 be represented as 80, by all means necessary, for less than $100 each.

Huge Oversight/Mismanagement by our Agency.

Just auction them off if it's just going to be a money grab.

Probably nobody knows that right now. But under the Freedom of Information Act you can request data from the draw. Last year I know if you asked you could find how a total of how many people were in each draw and I think you could find out who got each blind. I don't know what all data is available but it would be interesting to find out how many people put in, numbers of out of state applicants, number of blinds awarded to out of state residence and some other things.

Glad to know someone from out of state has more opportunities, makes me fill better, sad to see twra bow this low with piss pore management.

 

[WilcoKen]

Give it a few days the list will be on Facebook along with the numbers I suspect.
