Proposed 2018-2019 Statewide Migratory Game Bird Proclamation

Includes changing pintail back to 2, shifting the late season dove dates later in North and Central zones, and moving up the South zone opener.

I don't care a lot about the later dove shift, but I do a lot about the pintail limit and opening the South dove zone earlier.

No opinion on Pintails but extending the fall dove season makes better sense that extending the winter season

we had way more doves during the late season; early season sucked

2 weeks of dove late Jan would be great
They were all over my winter wheat, and still are.

I voted to extend the late Central dove season. My comment was that most of us are tagged out on deer by then, or have what we want in the freezer, and a dove gumbo sure is good on a cold day!

How many pintail you think you would have bagged last season if it was 6?

Hee hee hee....

Sounds great, Early dove season sucked but January I was covered up! As far as getting two pintails this is AWESOME! There were tons of times this year I shot my one pintail and then kept seeing them fly in the rest of the hunt having to watch them swim around my spread !!

A lot! Cuz it would have made a trip or two to the coast worth it..

Heck yeah I agree and submitted my form. I let them know last year the north zone dove dates were not ideal. This is what I asked them for.

2 pintail for me 3 would be nice

Back in the Day of the Point System, We could kill 10....YES I said TEN. They were 10 pt. ducks. Anybody else on here remember those days??

Bet $100 they give two pintail this season

Yes I do, because the first duck I ever shot during that period was a mallard hen, a 100 point duck

Remember the point system well. We had mostly ringnecks except when the canvasbacks came in. One and done.

Me too. First duck I ever shot was a redhead drake. Day over. Also remember shooting 10 pintail in a big rainstorm in an AR rice field pit. If you could see them they were in range. That was 10 pintail more than we'd shot all year.

The glory years! But as we all know now, kept that pintail limit way too long!!!

Yes remember it well. Didn't Lone Star Beer print little pamphlets every year with the 'value' of each duck below their picture?

I remember. Hunted in Port O'Connor at the time.
