No doubt I have always killed more ducks during the first split and usually by the end of the season I'm struggling to consistently kill birds. I didn't mind how the season was in the first place but really and trully idk if 7 days will actually make a big enough difference to notice. Like someone might have stated in a previous post, next years 2nd Saturday of the month is on the 14. It just depends on how the days fall I guess. And for the 5 day split for specks I think it will hurt the ones that hunt heavily pressured areas.

Season Dates
I agree there should be a longer split (At least one weekend) for the speck hunters and more than likley opening one week later than normal propably won't make much difference one way or another, I personally am just happy that we all still have the opportunity to enjoy our sport. Maybe we can't all agree which date the season should start and end, but I think we all can agree that we are indeen fortunate to have 60 days & 6 birds for ducks no matter when the season starts and ends (Even longer for Geese). Believe me when I tell you, we just may see a day when we will no longer be allowed to participate in this pleasure. Things are a changin' and it's not for the better. It's Ok to debate and argue and I understand both points, the bottom line is we do still have a season to enjoy, so let's do so while we still are able to. Suport every orginization that supports waterfowling and the right to bear arms. Continue ethical hunting practices, intorduce someone new to the sport, and do not give any of the bureaucrats any ammunition to use against us. The government does not give a rats @$$ if we have a waterfowl season or not. They have another agenda. It is (ALWAYS) going to be up to us to ensure we still have this simple pleasure we call waterfowl hunting. Keep in mind, there are bigger fish to fry here. Ok, I'm off my soap box, Next!!!

when the end of the season rolls around, thats when I head to N LA. Its stupid good there the last two weeks of the season. At least where I hunt
|
It is amazing how soon the ducks hit the rice fields in the area I hunt, after the season closes. They learn fast that it is safe now.

This is the coming future of Game & Fish regulations. Instead of using sound facts, leave it up to Social Media to decide!
Of course you are going to get more comments for change when you ask the question. Folks who are not fixiated on "CHANGE" just want it left alone and do no feel the need to comment. So next year, let's remember to get a movement going to move it back up a week! Also, you would think LDWF would give some consideration to the hunting clubs who have already booked hunts, people who have made vacation plans for work, etc, etc. |
Season dates
We hunt the coastal zone. My main concern with running the speck season through the first week of the twelve day split is there are a lot more speck "hunters" now. There will be people, alot of people out in the field shooting and disturbing birds. These are some of the same areas where we are trying to let the ducks rest. Nothing drives ducks back to refuges like gun pressure and traffic in and out of farms. The ducks really won't get much of a break other than in the marshes. So the rice fields in the coastal zone will essential have a 5 day split. I would always much rather have the extra speck days after duck season. Our harvest records show great success rates. (Near 100%) the last two weeks of specks after duck season. I realize it is what it is this year. Just my 2 cents for the future dates.

The traditional season dates were changed due to public comment of 200 or so people that basically don't know much about duck hunting in the Coastal Zone!! Keeping the season open later into January accomplishes nothing!! All the ducks that are here that time of year are all WELL educated to blinds, & decoys!!!
If you want to kill any of those late January ducks, you are going to have to work extremely hard just to bag a few!! Good luck to the 200 or so people that have ruined the tradition for the rest of us!!! |
