So I think the general consensus is that the new season frameworks were designed to limit harvest. Honestly probably not a terrible idea, especially until we can get a good grasp on the actual decline.

I would be curious to see a graph or some kind of visual showing the harvest numbers by the week of the year. I would guess the harvest numbers for the first week of May are substantially less than the third and fourth week of March. We are essentially swapping 5 days on the front for 5 days on the back end. If the difference in those numbers is 3-4,000 birds, it looks like a really good restocking program without the added cost.

Don’t get me wrong, I want to kill ‘em with the best of them but what the state did has a lot of potential to be a success. Assuming harvest limitation was the goal of course.
