For those that like to delve into such documents, the new waterfowl population status report just came out.

https://www.fws.gov/media/waterfowl-population-status-2024

The DU site has a good summary of it.

Looks like in 2025 we go back to a 9 day Teal season, but we may get a three Pintail bag limit.

So with the 3 pintail, any stipulation on hen limits? Surely they aren't going to allow more than 1 hen pintail out of the 3 pintails in your bag.

I doubt it, but I guess we will know when they adopt the 2025-26 pintail limit. More on it: https://deltawaterfowl.org/usfws-adopts-new-harvest-strategy-for-pintails/

Modern day hunting pressure doesn’t effect waterfowl populations- in January the last few weeks of the season, both 2023 and 2024 we could have shot many 6 man limits of pintail drakes. We were covered up

So when does harvest matter?

Why doesn't all the lower 48 states have the same limits and season lengths as Mexico and Canada?
