I've been wondering the same.

they'll start counting after they get all the blinds done they stole from us and will sit empty more days than they ever have...
I don't think it a top priority to actually post them to the website. I guess it is assigned to someone that just gets to it when they can or feel like it. The past 2-3 years it normally takes 2-3 weeks after the count before it makes it on the website. Maybe they have forgot to do it this year.
Exactly, this would allow everyone to see how many spots go unhunted and how west tn is not the guaranteed limit spot everyone thinks it is.

You do not need to worry about waterfowl counts.
the state will provide your opportunity.
You will enjoy your opportunity.

I'm not looking for opportunity handouts. I have worked at this for 30 years and know my way around the areas I hunt. I enjoy comparing what is reported to what is actually seen in the field. Many times I have seen counts reported near 100000 and see a few dozen birds in the air over the reported refuge. Not saying the counts are wrong but from my viewpoint I couldn't seen them.

Just looked and they are posted on the TWRA web site. Different format than the old spreadsheet.
That was not there 5-6 hours ago! I know for a fact I looked just after 1pm today and nothing was listed for the 2021-22 season at all!
How in the world is the new format better? I think this is an honest attempt to make every aspect of waterfowl hunting different. It wasn't broke and didn't require them fixing it.
We did a good job. If you don't believe it just ask us!
It's a lot to get used to, and you have no choice but to expand each module/widget/whatever if you're using your phone. But the Map version is simply fascinating. Lot more information. Actual map of survey area, and when they overlap you can compare surveys in the same area, since sometimes they don't check all pools. Especially on ground surveys.
For instance, there was this tidbit about discovering illegal hunters on a refuge in Jackson Co. Maybe that was in the original spreadsheets and I simply missed it.

I wonder why Lake Laurdale Ref is not on the list anymore? It is the main ref for Tigrett WMA and all the areas around Dyersburg.
