Pintail Closed

Just a reminder, the taking of Pintails ended the 12th.
We were discussing this today, does anyone remember the Bull Sprig only days?
I noticed that this was not an option this time.

Doesn't seem like it was that long ago. When was that anyway? Early 90's? :whazzup:
When I started hunting the rule was "If it flies, it dies!" Now you almost gotta have binoculars to ID birds.

This seems absolutely ridiculous. I must not be seeing the "big picture".

There are plenty of pintails in our flyway here out west but supposedly the other flyways out east are the ones hurting...I just can't see why the blanket rule to shut down us with the rest of the country..........Well I'm sure the Feds have researched this fully so hence the closure..................

We got some widgeon and a couple mallards on Sunday...but 95% of the birds were Pintail, they were everywhere.
