just understand it is always NR fault and you will be better off
,I doubt it, it a day earlierThis ^ Whenever a new bullshit bill passes it is always to benefit the nonresidents. Such F'n bullshit, why I am almost certain some of these legislators get money under the table passed in from across the ND border right into their pocket.
Talking to the renters doesn't sound good after all the snowAll the pheasants are dead so just stay home. #$%^&>
,I dought it, it's a day earlier
This thread is quite telling. The state gives you an extra week of hunting and all people do is bitch about it. I will guarantee you allot of nonresident duck hunters will be pissed about this new change. They come to hunt ducks but now all the plots will be closed on them on the second week instead of the third and that's definitely not going to make many of their day. Who cares if it's hot who cares if the crops are up and who cares if some of the birds still look like hens, the state said go have fun a week early and that's a shit ton better then watching it on TV even if everything isn't exactly perfect!

Exactly! No resident hunters had a problem with the current system, or were asking for an earlier start. This has everything to do with the large guiding operations bitching about a late start last year. It all comes down to $$Who was asking though? I mean, thanks I guess. But nobody I know was asking for an earlier or longer pheasant season.
Won't matter to me anyway. I'm all about ducks until freeze up. Shoot a couple deer. Then chase roodies until the season closes. They could start it in September for all I care. Educate the birds early so they hide and all the fair weather hunters are left scratching their heads. Me and my hounds will play clean up when everyone else is sitting at home, complaining about the cold.
1. It's really no sooner than prior years except for those years when the opening weekend works out later.
2. It's not going to effect how mature the birds are for identification
That funny coming from the guy who said that 7 days earlier it will now make it impossible to ID the young ones leaving out the fact that even in late years many if not most young birds are approaching full color by the end of September! There's a reason pheasant opener sees twice as many resident hunters then waterfowl so please show me where these other huge chunk of hunters are the weekend before. Sure they may be fishing or chasing deer but the fact is there is always multiple choices for a guy to go after weather it's October or February! It's just funny so many seem to look for reason to complain about anything. Seriously who gives two shits how or why this got into the system because in the end the residents who hunt in the state will be the ones to get the biggest benefit from this change. So now you have 27 exciting things to do in October and you will have more time to get after one more species so your not quite so rushed.Everybody is sitting home watching TV and just waiting it out the weekend before pheasant opener? Did you just fall off the turnip truck yesterday? We're talking ND in early October - there's only like 27 exciting things an outdoorsman could be doing that weekend.
Sometimes I think you type before you even form a solid plan of what it is you are going to say.
Well last time I checked we only shoot roosters and they in the end are bad for hens come winter so in what world would a longer season have an effect similar to over hunting deer?Exactly! No resident hunters had a problem with the current system, or were asking for an earlier start. This has everything to do with the large guiding operations bitching about a late start last year. It all comes down to $$
The numbers will almost certainly be down this year and somehow i guess extending the season is the solution. Will they be upping the deer tags to 150,000 again as well ;:;banghead
