Just did a little drive this morning and some folks are.
Yesterday I spent 3 hours cleaning and grassing in the blind in anticipation of a hunt this morning.....then at 6am this morning I remembered.

I never understood why they give it a break? I'm sure a lot of people don't care though
-
Waterfowl season is mandated to be 107 days in length. They have the two day break early on so that the season can start on a Saturday and end on a Sunday.

Do you know the significance of the strict 107 day season? Is it just a quota thing?

I always thought it was to allow the 2 day youth hunt before the general season opened?

The federal law allows 107 days max

Yeah- the federal law allows for a maximum of 107 days. When they add an early youth season, they have to subtract those two days somewhere- it is better they do it mid week the first week, then cut off two days later in the season when migrating birds could be had. :twocents:

Season starts on a Saturday ends on a Sunday. That's the only reason for the closure. Been like that since the federal frame work started. It has nothing to do with a youth hunt.

I'm going to be on the east side Saturday - plan is to be out there early enough to get a spot some place public. Going to have to be a shallow pond some place.
