I'm just saying, can u say that every year that ducks will be on the coast during the 2nd week of november? Absolutely not. Look at how they set shrimping seasons. They take data from sample trauls then open the season when the shrimp are of size and running. Seems like we could do that with waterfowl.

The best they can do is move it back one more week. Since I have been hunting I don't remember a single time when ducks weren't here for opening day. I'm fine with the season as is, but one week later wouldn't bother me. 23 day 1st split and 37 day second split, ending on last sunday in January would be fine by me.
