    These dates seem a little bizarre to say the least.  Are they accurate?
    What sense does a 3 day/25 day split for the coastal duck season make?
    Usually the inland seaason begins a week early, but now the coastal
    is starting a week early?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Mark.

    Thanks.  Just checking.  You gotta admit, though, the dates ARE
    unusual.
    
    Oh well.   At least we have the first half-hour back!

476.4any dates for 93 yetCHRLIE::HUSTONTue Sep 28 1993 15:2410
    
    Has anyone seen the 93 dates yet for migratory birds?
    
    I went to buy the stamp Sunday and they were not in yet, they 
    did not have the abstract sheet either.
    
    It is getting close, anyone know the exact dates/limits?

476.6Thanks, for my next question...CHRLIE::HUSTONThu Sep 30 1993 18:2117
    
    re .5
    
    many thanks, hate to ask for more, but I picked up my stamp last
    night (at WalMart), and they did not have the sheet with the 
    seasons/limits, a call this morning to F&G resulted in them 
    promising to mail one, but I have doubts as to whether it will
    get here before Tuesday.
    
    Do you (or anyone) have all the seasons/limits, especially, inland
    for ducks (mallard, woodies) and geese? Including the mix bag
    limits (like only 1 hen mallard, 2 woodies total, out of 3/day)?
    
    Thanks
