Wister Blinds
- Thread starter Khanda
- Start date
I believe they will let you pick any blind you want regardless of what they know about the water situation. Perhaps this year will be different.
Wister is a different animal than San Jacinto. Generally you make your picks on your own . As it should be in my opinion . Tom is super helpful at San Jac, but his wildlife area is much smaller with half the blinds . A third of Wister was filled and all sites were huntable. I HAVE had a dry site at Wister Opening morning

From Scott Sewell.......I would like to thank you all for your support and I appreciate the feedback. First off, Hwy 111 is open and there is access from the north and south. As many you know we have been faced with challenges at IWA and as I have said before “we will overcome them”. Even with Wister being 80-85% full we are still higher than the majority of WLA’s in the State in the flooding to acreage ratio. The ponds that are filling will provide new habitat and forage for the coming months. Social media has not accurately described our current position and forecast. Wister does have vegetation management issues but overall is looking good and will be ready for the season. Some of the comments made are simply inaccurate. We have very hard-working employees that are doing the best they can. I currently have a smaller crew than usual, but I have just hired 2 new FWT, I still have 1 FWT out on leave, I will be hiring a new WHS1, and I will be hiring a new seasonal or two. We will rebuild and will be stronger. Thank you for your support and good luck this weekend and season.

Steve,
Your info was the bomb! It made a big difference for us on more than one opener! Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort to do that...
Thanks Mark...I'm hoping whoever Scott hires as the new Supp l will reach out to the public for help...Wister needs heart & soul to survive or get back to it's once greatness...Staffing is hard to get out there, money for repairs, and equipment is needed badly.
ps...I know Scott and others from DFW watch these forums...Please consider Ryan from San J as the Supp l...This kid busts his a$$ and the hunters love him...Plus, his girlfriend works at Wister...
