Have you read this?To me it is a whole lot of trouble to build one just so you get a chance at getting a spot. Blind has to be built and approved before it can be selected. Guess it wouldn't matter much if it was already built.

Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

Given I am new to all of this (mostly just spending time with my son), I seriously considered trying it since we hunted out there a little last year. I just can't seem to find what all it would take to build and set a blind that would pass inspection. Decide to not even put in again. Just ain't that mad at em just yet!!!

My father hunted out there for years when I was a kid. They built large blinds every year from 2x4, plywood and giant blocks of Styrofoam for flotation, with wire on the sides and brushed in with cane. They lasted all season, were removed, put up, and then brushed and any repairs done the next season. Reused for years. They were good blinds.
I can't imagine some of the stuff made today that must require an inspection and approval.

Was in a group of ten guys that registered. None of us got drawn. Talked to somebody last week and they told me after 7 hours they had 850 registrants.

I didn't get drawn. I know of about a dozen guys that put in, and none got drawn either.

Now that I understand the difference in the way things were done this year versus previous years, I'm guessing some spots will have to be redrawn when folks who got drawn and don't even own a blind don't show up for inspection?
