If they shorten the season and lower the limit only time will will if it helps the population or not. The bottom line is that we need hens to successfully nest, those eggs to hatch and those poults to survive. The Auburn study is pointing towards the fact that because of our harvest being heavily slanted to the first two weeks of the season that some hens aren’t getting bred.
I’d that is the case then push the season back but don’t take days away from us or lower the limit. Season can open on March 20th and go out on May 5th.
