I think that in the short run the WMA's would be as packed as they possibly can be. I know of one where the water would rise three inches because of all the dang boats displacing the water. Hmmmm, let's see - if there were a 30 day season I am going to save all of my vacation and sick time to make sure that I get my fair shake at the ducks. I agree that many of the proponents think that it will help WMA's - but it would only eliminate pressure after several seasons when hunters may have lost interest, lobbying power and reduced the $'s that we are putting into the system. I am with ya.

With that - I'll replace my avatar again :lol:


I agree softcall. If we went to the 30 day season the WMA's would be packed. Heck the WMA's are packed now with the 60 day season with not many birds. Everyone would save vacation time (including me) and hunt most of the 30 day season. I don't know what the answer is but I would be in favor a 60 day season but lower the bird limit.

According to this, the last Sunday in January was put into effect in 2002. I sure do wish my friend Webfoot who used to supply us with this information were still around.

Dang good way of looking at it.

And, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have this sweet disclaimer.
