[QUOTE="UpperTully, post: 5250754, member: 1983"] I think if folks keep the stir going about these blinds and the botched draw system, something will give. It has to because to many people are negatively affected. I didn’t put in for a season long blind but I did try to apply for walk in holes for Eagle Lake at Shelby Forest during the first and mid season segments. The first segment It showed I applied for a priority point when I never did. When I applied for the mid season segment, It never would let me do anything so I said screw it. I don’t have time to play phone tag with the quota hunt lady every time I want to apply. I used duck hunt a lot more than I do now. I LOVE to get after them but between TWRA and the Feds, most of the good holes have gone draw hunt within an hour of me and I find my self sitting at home because I’m rarely off on the weekends to even participate in a draw hunt. This whole process reminds me of the stupid decision to turn turkey season on WMAs in West Tn to a quota hunt back in 2014 or 2015. A hunter got drawn for 1 weekend hunt and that was it. It seems TWRAs answer to everything is quota hunts but it’s forcing hunters out of the sport. [/QUOTE]
