That's because they aren't, if they were duck season days, they would count against the amount of days you are allotted for "duck season" by the USFWS. Think about it the other way, what if Nebraska wanted to offer an early duck season (not just teal, all ducks), would they be able to do that and still have 74 days for regular duck season? Of course not, that is just a split. The people who invented duck seasons don't consider it a duck season, why would I?
bullshit, it's semantics and a way for southern states to fuck the fed rules, more power to them but don't insult our intelligence by saying it isn't duck hunting
To be quite honest with you, I never understood why the southern states get an early teal season, those fuckers get to shoot them all year after they bail out of the northern states the day before season starts. Nebraska, for example, is not allowed to have an early teal season in certain zones because they are considered "production zones", and the USFWS is too worried that non-teal will be shot as well. All I'm saying, and have been saying, is that as far as the USFWS is concerned, early teal season is not duck season, or it would count against your allotted days. Not saying I agree with it, honestly don't know why it wouldn't, but it doesn't, and it isn't.
To achieve success, one must possess dedication, passion and a boatload of decoys.
