    Default New Proposed Regs

    USFWS has proposed the following changes for 2019-2020.

    1. Pintail limit from (2) to (1) nationwide.

    2. Atlantic Mallard limit reduced to (2) birds total. Only one hen.

    Discuss.....

    If any of you are ever fortunate enough to hunt the West Coast you’ll learn really quickly why a 1 bird pintail limit is absolutely dumb to implement nationwide!
    Living in Moncks Corner but looking forward to moving back to the West Coast in 2020 where there are more ducks and less duck hunters!! LOL

    Sound to me as if they want to end duck hunting al together. 1 bird isn't worth going IMO or is 2 mallards.

    Delta waterfowl opposes the two mallard limit, not sure as to why. 1 pintail in the central and pacific flyways seems dumb to me. Dark ducks I would think need to go to one with the mallard hen change as there are a lot of idiots out there

    My first take was to cancel hunting season for one year and just solve all issues......a little extreme I know....

    If it was to happen, which I doubt, at least it could give them a guide line as to what was going on. It would take at least 2-3 years to get a real count due to weather conditions, etc.

    This duck season has almost been like canceling duck season given the lack of migration. Nature seems to have a way to take care of its own.
    Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

    Meanwhile we can whack 8 pintails in Canada and as many as your conscience will allow you in Old Mexico...
