Once again this year, the DWR is excluding ALL public witnesses at the draw for the Expo tags. The stated reason is "covid", and to protect the DWR employees.
This came directly from Lyndsey Varney (sp?, sorry not intentional) who spent the morning in the DWR booth talking to hundreds of people. (No masks or social distancing, but that is a different discussion!) Many DWR employees were at the show, interacting with countless sportsman, but the 20-30 people that usually show up for the drawing are being excluded again. While I never saw anything overtly suspicious at the drawing, it does not make sense to keep excluding the public. Not sure why I am surprised, but it is not a good look to keep rejecting ANY public oversight of this process.
