Don't know about the rest of you, but this year's changes to the Quail season sure caught me off guard!
1. Season now opens on November 1st instead of the normal 1st Friday after the 1st Tuesday
2. The North/South Division which used to be State Road 26 has now been moved to I74
3. Bag limit for North Division reduced from 5 to 4.
4. North Division Season (now North of I74) ends December 15th.
5. South Division Season (now South of I74) ends January 10th.
I for one am not at all happy about these changes! Basically, they have robbed me of half of my hunting season! I don't believe DNR did a very good job of informing everyone of these potential changes. Yes, as I researched this evening, I found limited information on this site back in January, but unless you went looking for it, there was not much notice providesd. I am 59 and have been hunting quail from the time I started hunting as a young boy. If anything, the season opening should have been pushed till later in December and run into the first part of February. And, pushing the north division all the way to I74, come on! In my opinion, these changes have robbed us birdhunters of a lot of hunting days and land.
