From CWA & Rick( Duckfan)......Thanks Rick & CWA for all you do for us waterfowlers.

CWA Reg’s Committee had a meeting today with DFW and discussed their proposal for the season – which will go to the commission Aug 5th:



Oct 10 NE

Oct 24 BOS and other zones

Goose seasons will be done as well.




2 pintail

2 cans

7/2 mallards

Extra week brant





Until Aug 5th when the commission rules on it, that is what is expected. There was discussion on mallards - as some had asked to perhaps lower their numbers due to our local counts, drought etc. But, based off our Western Model, it still shows mallards are at or above 'sustainable' numbers....and thus a liberal bag limit should apply.



There is a lot of science that goes into the model with the best biologists involved.



A FANTASTIC promo video was shown - a promo to 2 new episodes of the FOWL LIFE with Chad Belding. These episodes were filmed at Ranch Esquon and really discusses what CWA is all about. Some national attention to CA hunting and importance of CA to every state. I look forward to the 2 shows and we all should set our DVR's and let others know:
