Twrc is only gonna listen to the ones that line their pockets. They sure ain't gonna listen license holders.

Well when they voted after their survey showed the hunters wanted to allow it. Blind hopping wasn't going to be allowed until after 10:00 and they still voted no, so there's that....That works OK for blinds that are ready to hunt with decoys already set. Now, imagine going into one of the Tier 2 holes and sitting there waiting to see if the permitted person shows. When they don't, you have to get out and start setting decoys because there are none there. So, right in the PRIME time for killing some ducks, you have "hoppers" out there beating and banging around and very likely screwing up the hunting for that whole bottom. That doesn't seem very fair for folks that may have come from a long way away for 2-3 days of duck hunting.
To me, it smacks of some more of the LOCAL entitlement with the idea that I am entitled to hunt that spot even if it screws it up for everybody else.
Not much different than the people loading up and leaving early. Maybe you just aren't very good at putting out decoys, but I don't beat and bang around and can have 3-5 dozen decoys put out in a couple minutes.So, you are sitting out there idling next to a hole at 10am getting ready to beat and bang around for a while setting decoys.
I guess everyone else in the bottom should just take a nap while you screw up the hunting for everyone else?
Makes sense to me.
I do it all the time.BS on putting out 5 dozen decoys in a couple of minutes.
hows that any different from someone that is leaving at 10am?? makes sense to me...So, you are sitting out there idling next to a hole at 10am getting ready to beat and bang around for a while setting decoys.

yea its def not that hard.. and another thing with the no hopping, they say they're making more "opportunities" with all these changes, while that literally is taking opportunities away... der per der, here's your sign folksI do it all the time.
Probably not a lot of difference in it. If they are out there idling around picking up decoys, it likely takes even longer. If they are just motoring out of their blind, probably less commotion.hows that any different from someone that is leaving at 10am?? makes sense to me...
Just because you can't doesn't mean I can't buddy.Sure.
That is the dumbest thing you have said so far.If that is happening a bunch, the regs need to be tweaked to say once you are there, you are expected to stay until the close of shooting time.
I've had a crappy day. Thank you for the laughs and brightening things up.Just because you can't doesn't mean I can't buddy.
Guess you want deer hunters on WMAs to stay till closing time too?Probably not a lot of difference in it. If they are out there idling around picking up decoys, it likely takes even longer. If they are just motoring out of their blind, probably less commotion.

I don't want anything.Guess you want deer hunters on WMAs to stay till closing time too?
Maybe they decided to go against hopping the Tier 2 blinds because they were smart enough to know what a cluster-f it would be.
From my understanding of the blind hopping deal, and that is from the way the regs are written and maybe not by "local custom", you couldn't hop the blind unless the permitted blind "owner" was not there by legal shooting time. I guess you could be in the blind and ready to leave if they showed.

You don't hunt much do you?BS on putting out 5 dozen decoys in a couple of minutes.
