What's the point to having a daily limit during the regular season to then have a "Conservation season"?

Why now just increase the limit during the regular season? I've had many answers to that question but none of them very good....

I've kind of wondered about that also, can you share some of the reasons you were given?

I've always wondered that too, but how about a different question:

how many times have you ever had to stop shooting snow geese during regular season because you limited out?

I thought bag limit was the same (20), just no plug/electronic call restriction.

I agree with upping the limit, but it is awesome going hunting in a no limit situation. The electric caller helps.
Having an extension tube and blasting away is a hoot, mine is longer than the barrel. I think the first two or three shots find a bird, after that it is just fun.

I believe you, but Outdoor Annual so says it’s 20.
