[QUOTE="zoops, post: 194018, member: 790"] Very good point on the extension/liberalizing of seasons (and limits). And you're never going to make everyone happy on season dates - open the season later and the teal/wood duck guys or guys who want to hunt with little kids would complain or if we get a year where we have a foot of snow in October everyone would be up in arms about having no birds around for the last 60 days of the season...I love hunting the later migration but realize that's not everyone's cup of tea, nor is it probably the best way to get younger hunters involved with the cold. I'm in favor of an NR cap but realistically I don't know how much good it would do. Bird habits have changed; heck I haven't seen a ton of birds while scouting for even resident-only opener the last few years. Definitely would be in favor of a later-season NR cap or closure (say once deer season opens) but that's just me dreaming; not a realistic idea. Not to mention the only bills that seem to get anywhere in the legislature are ones that loosen restrictions for NR. [/QUOTE]
