The vote will be telling.  I can say you will need luck to see a season in 22.

Season is gonna come and go and they are still gonna be talking about whether or not to have a season.

Depends on how on the ball WDFW is, hard to say if they are prepared and ready to pull the trigger or if they haven't done anything yet.  I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Commented several times now leading up to the deadline.  Hopefully all our voices make an impact for this season and the pending commissioner appointments.

Last vote was 4-4. 
If they revote, one of the no votes is gone and just need one of the two new commissioners to vote yes, or carpenter to change his mind again.

Isn’t carpenter gone?
