Is the final one from TPWD or the proposed dates they posted earlier?

Nvm my stupid question.

Ouch Pintails lowered to 1 a day. Must be a bad hatch this year.

I don't think that they have released the numbers for this season. But the numbers fell last year, and according to the reports the breeding grounds for a lot of pintails were not looking very good. Personally, I don't see why they couldn't leave it at two and make it drakes only.

I wish we could shoot woodies during teal season like they do in Florida.

Id rather them let spoonies be legal...
