This was in an email from Jason Olszak back in September. We were discussing this 3 split stuff
"Our zones & splits selection was for 21-22 to 2025-2026."
This was in another exchange we had today.
"We have 5 years of 2 splits. The 25-26 season will/may be the last. We will be required to conduct a survey near the end of this as we are the only state in the flyway with 2 zones and potential 2 splits."
I got the exact same email lol. The proposed dates for the for the 23/24 season have Saturday openers for each split but the season closes on a Wednesday making the last three days M-T-W 29/30/31 inconsequential for most I would think. That actually creates a scenario where as the West Zone will hunt later than the East Zone for the first time ever.
Edit: I also voiced my displeasure with the current arrangement with you in mind

I visualize the MTW ending of next season as the tattered end of a strap that's been whipping in the wind for a long time. It needs to be cut off.

Disabled Veterans Day? Maybe I could get behind that.
We get 60 days as adults, that's enough.
I do like the youth hunt for the intended purpose and have made many good memories taking kids.

But I also don't have a clue how to hunt in Louisiana...

I think we will.
I forgot to mention on yesterdays hunt log that the guys on the well managed marsh just to our west didn't fair very well either. I got a text from one blind there saying you know it's slow when you get up to shoot at a lone scaup at 8:30 and realize you hadn't loaded your gun at LST. All others we spoke to in the campground and beyond had the same reports. The water is reported to be very high in the marsh north of 82. Some of these guy's hunt next to little pecan.

Dave, the gossip at the Pecan Island store early Saturday morning was that all of our green wings are stacked up on the GC side. From your report that doesn’t seem to be true.
I don’t know about your possible move but my old blind south of 82 was on a point sticking out of pocket of broken marsh adjacent to 80-100 acres of open water. We were able to pull ducks across the open water and ducks flying around the broken marsh. I really miss that blind.
Good luck no matter what you decide to do.

Good luck the rest of the season!
