GooseB, I see what you are talking about in the point system flaw. Thats why there has to be some alterations in it. Thing thing I like about the point system is that it protects the hens more.

Drop the limit to 2 ducks, and you haven't saved that many ducks. Seemes werid, when you think bout all the days you kill a totesack full, but remember these are averages over a season.
Hey Goose-Long time never talk to.
If you hunted 50 days.and killed 4 ducks a day 25 of those days and 0 ducks 25 of those days,you would have a 2 duck per day average.Drop the limit to 2 ducks per day and,under this scenerio,your total kill would be 50 instead of 100 ducks.That's a 50% reduction.
Under some circumstances limits do curtail the number of ducks killed.
