I wish they woulda left the traditional framework (14th ) it's a happy medium. Sure there are birds that show up in the coastal marsh in october but lots of rice is still standing in late Oct early November. Many years we are brushing blinds the weekend before the season (whish is now the opener) with standing rice in the fields. Rushing to get rice cut, stubble rolled and flooded within a weeks time. This year will almost seem impossible to hunt opener for most rice hunters in swla. The regular guy is paying 5-8k for a blind he won't even be able to hunt possibly the first 2 weeks of the season now. As far as specks... nevermind I'm done. Them marsh boys got deep pockets I guess.
