SB,
Do you think the limit will be reduced by a duck like they did in Arkansas.
3- mallards 1-hen

Arkansas has acted responsibly

I was glad to see them "voluntarily" reduce the limit from 6 to 5 ducks, and 4 to 3 Mallards with only 1 being a hen. That shows that we are not a bunch of bloodthirsty killers but rather duck hunters are people who treasure the resouce and are indeed, true conservationists. I hope Mississippi follows Arakansas' lead.

It seems to be kind of trendy to want reduced seasons, limits, no hens etc. but I've read enough and had enogh of it. Damn, I'm ready for cold weather and a damn duck hunt people.
What difference did the limits make last year? Going over the limit was the farthest thing from my mind last season.
If I happen to stumble upon the right place at the right time PLEASE don't make me go home one duck early. Yea, I could unload my gun and stay etc. etc. barf.

duckman77,
I expect MS to go with the USFWS recommendations. Maybe. Maybe not.
I would be surprised if we took anything less than the recommended mallard limit. I have been surprised before though.
