im not so sure EeeBees
the way it appears now f&g are looking like a third wheel in a process for a species they,re supposed to be in charge of??
im still waiting on doc replies to find out who,s the main man/woman in charge of this permitting and to what extent its happening.
but clearly from the emails and meeting minutes f&g arent in the loop as they should be.

methinks thier plans maybe to delist mallards or have open more seaons to get them.
.perfect really yanks love them theres plenty of extended parrie seasons and mallards aint native
something must be a foot i hear mallards are bieng brought hard out and stocked.
it is still illegal to sell them??
or are you allowed nudge nudge wink wink to recover costs,
i hear a certain large station is getting very birdy thanks to its guides.

Um, how about the beautiful Mallard have an shortened season and the Teal, you know the Teal, the flying horde, put back on the schedule ... I believe that their increases in population could very well be detrimental to the stability of the Mallard populations, albeit in certain areas ... please remind me why the Teal was ever taken off the schedule anyway ...

Addend, well the Mallard has been here for 150 years (an undertaking with great dignity, in my opinion); the Teal self-introduced to New Zealand which does not make him native either ...

My old man used to shoot to shoot for Teal when he was a young lad and he considered the Teal to be the dumbest bird that ever flew. You shoot one out of a mob and the others just keep coming back.

And thats why you arent allowed to shoot them any more

scaup would have to be a close 2nd in the easy stakes you could hunt them with a tennis racket.
