Amendments to Proposed 2016-17 Waterfowl Season Dates
1) 7 days were added to the goose seasons bringing white and white-fronted goose seasons to 88 days: Both north and south zones: Nov. 5 - Dec. 4 and Dec. 17 - Feb. 12 for snows and specks. Same for Canada geese but the closing date is Jan. 31. 2) In a surprise move today, the proposed West Zone duck season dates were changed to: Nov. 12 - 27 and Dec. 17 - Jan. 29 to go along with: Nov. 12 - Dec. 4 and Dec. 17 - Jan. 22 in the Coastal Zone Nov. 19 - Dec. 4 and Dec. 17 - Jan. 29 in the East Zone This is the last month for public comment, and the final decision will be made at the April LWF Commission meeting.

Looks like the coastal is moved back to the traditional dates. It Wil close a week later than it did this year. I like the way it looks. Don't really care for 88 days of specks but it is what it is.

Just do less days for specks and give us 3 birds

Agreed. Those poor geese are going to be getting shot at the entire time they are down here.

Yea. No point in having 2 zones and same seasons. Ain't much u more choice with 88 days. Any earlier than the 5th and rice ain't cut and birds aren't here. 2nd weekend in Feb geese are leaving and crawfish traps are out.

Well if the coastal zone is back to normal I'm good. Last year was a fluke for us. Worst ever. I can't blame anything but the weather. I guess I can really see how weather is the key to a great season. Not one freeze this past yr. If we get good freezes then I'll expect to kill birds again. Bring in the mega cold. I love it!!! I want some low 20deg days and I'll be a happy camper.
