    Or they are fighting over the one group of four that everyone was competing over since they were the only four seen all season! LOL

    Just the natural progression. Somebody had to out do the hothead in eastern NC from last season.

    Unfortunately nobody will ever know what really happened.

    I bet the boys probably had a run in with him in his blind and left and got down wind of his spread and shot all his birds on the swing.

    On reelfoot you have to be in your blind by shooting time or it is open to the public. The owner can come in but can’t kick person out. It has caused some real problems. A guide brings in a late group of hunters only to find someone else there. Even if the person is legal it is a bad situation.

    What causes the problems? If what you typed is true, the expectations seems to be pretty clear. Be there at a certain time or you risk losing your spot.

    The problem is that some of those blinds have been in certain families for generations and that causes people to have a since of ownership. From what I understand they aren’t renewing the permits so in the next 40 or so years the blinds will be gone probably. At one point in time Reelfoot was a magical place, but now it’s over ran with guides.

    Yep, all the grandfathered permits are dying out as the named permit holders pass on. No renewal and the blinds then turn into state blinds to be used in the lottery system.

    A sense of ownership, overabundance of guides, and others factors likely come into play. My point is the rules on who gets to use the blinds seems to be pretty clear. If it's been in your family for multiple generations and you still have the permit, get up and get in there before legal shooting time. Otherwise, don't be mad if someone takes your spot.

    *Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with the politics that went into the decision to change the rules for those who've had blinds for generations. I very well could be missing a key point.

    From what all I’ve heard it wasn’t about being in the blind, they were shooting his swing.

    What does it take for a fire to burn so evil in someone that they think the only reasonable action to take in order to get revenge is to kill? As I sit here typing this out I can’t help but think of my best friend that got shot on the streets of Denver and what it done to his family, friends, and people that he was connected with. The same thing is going on right now with the victims families. They’re receiving news that is going to change their lives forever. No wallet Is worth the life of a human. No duck is worth the life of a human. The world is a sick place. Hate to say it but I hope that sob goes to hell in a hand basket
