I just spent an hour online trying to figure out the Mississippi Dove Season start date. I figured someone on here would know. So when in September is it? (I am assuming it is in September)
Ok....I understand...you were more worried about how it impacts hunting vs populations. I grew up in Wilmington and hunted ducks around there off and on for >20 years so I understand your dilemma. All the spots I used to chase woodies have now been significantly impacted by development.That may be true that we are underharvesting the wood ducks. I will look at the link you sent me later this afternoon. I think the main problem that I have with it is that with the Feds limiting Scaup and Cans on the coast and raising the limit of wood ducks to 3 we will start to see more "johnny come lately" duck hunters in my favorite holes. There are alot of hunters in my area that don't want to mess with just 2 ducks.

Heck, I still exchange emails with Bud. Named a Lab after him too, Budbubba.Not too many folks would admit to knowing both Bud AND Les. You may be unsavory enough to hang out with me.
