I don't think the 30 or 45 day season will happen, but just wanted to get yalls thoughts.

Damn you folks have no idea how the seasons are set or what limits bird take. Look up Adaptive Harvest Management(AHM) and do some learning. Reducing the limit will do nothing. Reducing the number of days is the only way to reduce the harvest. Been proven time and again.

I got a pretty good idea how limits and seasons are set. Thats why I was asking why on earth we would need a 30 or 45 day season with the numbers how they are right now. If they declined drastically 30 days is fine I don't care. Pretty sure we are gonna end up with a 60 day season again. Guess I should have never brought it up.

Well you're right, we won't know until the may pond counts(which is done in May) and breeding pair counts are done. But we can sure hope for a 30 day season.

Duck stuff just gets everyone worked up, no biggie. Do you have a link for the story?
