I just continue to maintain that treating it like the shrimp season and announcing the opening based on real time observations of the resource would give hunters the best chance of success. I know it's a pipe dream, but I I've always been a dreamer haha.

It's not just because he is an outfitter, it is because the large numbers of hunters that book trips with guides every year need to be able to plan vacation time as well. It is hard to argue your point that there aren't many ducks here in early November when the harvest data shows that most hunters do best in the early season

I never said there was no ducks here in November. Last year not so much maybe. But we normaly always do better early at my spot in the coastal zone. I take no issue at all with the dates themselves.
