Sooo... who is brushing the gubment blinds?

[Pic IN the Casa]

At Cheatham, none of the government blinds are brushed. According to the guys building the blinds TWRA has contracted out someone to brush them.

I WILL eat my words regarding my buddy's blind. It is now complete.

Blind is good and sturdy. No bench in the shooting area sucks. But that's just personal preference. And no bathroom. Guess a 5gal bucket will have to do for a good poop.

So my question is... if you are only hunting it for 2 days how much trouble do you take to brush it?

It's awful late for oak. "Let's just go with cedar, yeah that'll do"

The way I figure, the first two days of the season will be local ducks coming out of the woods and back and forth from the refuge. They may be used to the commotion of all the blinds being built.

Going to take a huge amount of brush to cover good enough. I can only imagine how ducks will look down and see all that white walls and light color flooring. You figured they would have thought about painting the inside but that would have actually took some THOUGHT and common sense which seems to be like trying to shoot your limit in East Tennessee two days in a row….VERY RARE

One of my first thoughts when the State discussed taking control of the blinds is how in the world will they ever get them all brushed every season and keeped them brushed. I understand they contracted out the brush jobs. But they are also way past the completion deadline. I imagine those people that were contacted to brush planned on having them finish 3-4 weeks ago. I would not be surprised if they have told the state they can no longer get brush to put on the blinds.

And I hope the people contracted to brush the blinds lay all the blame at the feet of TWRA for not having the blinds built and ready to be brushed by the date they said they would.

My understanding was that the building and brushing contractors were one and the same. Is that not the case?

No they have a few different contactors to brush totally different then the builders.

Nothing like the feeling of cedar falling down and getting in your jacket and shirt. That is about the only option left

I have a bunch of yellow groove bamboo at my place. We may doll it up with that since we've only got it for two days. Who knows.

That drives me CRAZY when that happens

"Lets just go with fake Christmas tree branches. Maintenance free and we can wait til the day before opening day to brush. No cedar needles falling in our constituents shirts either."

Don't give them any ideas. If they can cut a corner, it is obvious that is the route they are taking.

I live close to Woods Reservoir and just recently saw a convoy of game warden trucks and trailers loaded with building materials headed toward the river. I thought they had them built already on Woods but I've been busier than a centipede at a toe counting contest so I don't know
