Teal limit going up
 

The central flyway (Texas) has approved a 6 bird limit for this season and an increase to a 3 day bag limit for possession. The owner of my waterfowl club in Texas sits on the Texas regulatory board that oversees wildlife regulations and is very connected. This word was passed down to him today. Look for something official over the next few weeks. Now you have to hope the Mississippi flyway does the same for Louisiana.

Good news.

That's nice......

I like seeing someone take the first step that can only help Louisiana.

The only thing Texas has done for LA so far is hurt us on duck limits.

How is that?

X2, different flyway different bags and rules. Please explain.

Texas is the reason out mottled duck limit went down to 1. Their mottled duck harvest went down so their limit went down as did ours. Seems more of their mottled ducks are now calling Louisiana home.

So maybe we will adopt the teal limit!! Won't hurt us. I'm for our 1 mottle duck limit. Keep em repopulating. These guys know what they are doing. Louisiana is one of the few states that has summer mallard pops. It'll go back up in the next 3yrs

Ours never went down.

The word is that Louisiana should go up also

Great news Casey! Finally they do something with possession too. We should hear from the Miss Flyway very soon.

The possession change will really help the big clubs and camps I'm glad to see that change.

I would be shocked if the MISS flyway does not go with the 6 teal limit.

Man 6 would be awesome.

Hurricane Ike in 2008 decimated the mottled duck population on the East Tx coast and TP&W asked for the limit to be decreased. FYI, Mottled ducks don't migrate; hence the name "Summer Mallard". While I disagree with the need to change the limit in Louisiana, it's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. My only concern with increasing the limit will be the increased number of wood ducks and mottle ducks that will be shot by hunters that can't identify birds in the first 30 min of shooting.

Year after Ike shot the crap out them mottles now not so much...they migrate west to east

Yea. Some people the limit change didn't affect. Some it did. In our case where we were hunting it did big time. We killed mainly mallards and mottled ducks. It was nice to be able to kill your 4 mallards and finish your limit with 2 mottleds beings there are no other ducks to fill your limit.

Definitely wouldn't mind shooting more teal...just means more teal jambalaya! Tons of em in grand chenier.

Man we just started cooking that at the camp last few years. Love that stuff!

Woo hoo!!!

Ha! So true!!!

O lord!

There's still probably gonna be people who shoot 4 teal for a limit bc nobody told them no different. Lol

Just like this past year me and a buddy were smashing specklebellies in Whiteville 2 weeks before the season. Never heard any other shots every hunt. They had just made that special speck season in the east last year. Guess no one got the memo.

let's hope our LWF feels the same...:dance:

Made a duck and goose jambalaya not long ago, fiyaaaaaaaaa!!!! First time I tried it and don't know I'll make one any different again

someone post a recipe on dat fire jamabalaya
