Amendments to Proposed 2016-17 Waterfowl Season Dates

[Lreynolds]

At the last 2 Commission meetings, there have been amendments to the proposed 2016-17 waterfowl season dates.

1) 7 days were added to the goose seasons bringing white and white-fronted goose seasons to 88 days:

Both north and south zones: Nov. 5 - Dec. 4 and Dec. 17 - Feb. 12 for snows and specks.
Same for Canada geese but the closing date is Jan. 31.

2) In a surprise move today, the proposed West Zone duck season dates were changed to:

Nov. 12 - 27 and Dec. 17 - Jan. 29 to go along with:
Nov. 12 - Dec. 4 and Dec. 17 - Jan. 22 in the Coastal Zone
Nov. 19 - Dec. 4 and Dec. 17 - Jan. 29 in the East Zone

This is the last month for public comment, and the final decision will be made at the April LWF Commission meeting.
