But, I don't think the early bw teal season days come out of your federally allotted days...do they? Seems like I just read that they don't.
I know it doesn't matter, but here it would make sense to have both open during the early bw teal season, but I wouldn't be willing to give up regular season time for it.
And, just for conversation's sake, I've seen woodies actually flying within flocks of bw teal, and I've also seen them shot that way.
That is correct, the early teal season doesn't come out of your allotted days. I'm not quite sure how they word it, I know the early/late goose seasons are technically nuisance seasons, I can't imagine the same could be said for teal. Perhaps Dan can shed a little light on this one...
Early teal is just a way of giving people a way to hunt birds that would otherwise be gone by the regular season.
Yes, I'm well aware of that. My point is that it is unlike the feds to just up and allow someone to have extra days to shoot teal and not have it count against their allotted days.
