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.

totally agree..

why change it?
