Aaahhhhh.....I see. Do they have them in Tennessee?
I think I saw some over at the BDDC. There was some little ducks swimming around with little pointy "pin" tails that stuck straight up. Was that them?

Question: Why do the Central Flyway and Pacific Flyways have larger bag limits on certain species of ducks and longer seasons? I would assume it’s because more ducks migrate those flyways but I am not sure that’s why I am asking

Less hunters per day than here in the Mississippi Flyway. They have a huge area, and limited access and less hunters. Here in the Mizzizzip...it's ballz to the wall, Canadian border, to Venice, 6 ducks a day for all 60 days. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry hunt.

I know there is a better explanation, but that sums it up.

In California with all the liberals they don't treat waterfowl as a religion, just a social gathering to worship Obamy and Pelosi than do some serious hunting. Leases are costly for many out there and public areas make some of the ones here look like a Sunday School picnic. I've seen a forty acre rice field with 8 2 man pits on it there. Not fun. If we had 107 days here lawyers would get richer with all the divorces as many of us would hunt them all! Bean counters, the same ones that crunch imaginary duck numbers, say less ducks are killed in the Pacific than the Ms. flyways due to hunter days and numbers.

Just to tag along with this thread if the season is 60 days and runs to the last Sunday in January as normal then the season dates will be as follows:


Nov. 26, 27, and 28. = 3 days

Dec. 4th and 5th. = 2 days

Dec. 7th - Jan. 30th = 55 days
__________

60 day season.
