crazy_cajun02 Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 Definitely liberal regs for ducks. Hunters Choice will again be in effect.....just a quick side note on how HC worked last year compared to the previous season with season within a season.....mottled duck harvest decreased by 33% (even though we saw excellent production) pintails went up 9% or about 10,000 birds (much lower than was predicted by the models) and canvasbacks went down 9% (about what we expected). This is just one year of data but it appears to have been successful thus far by not over harvesting pintails....just for reference 25% was the break point set for unacceptable harvest increase under HC....we came in way under that. this was posted by an official from TPWD up at a conference of sorts
