A tease to potential bag limit bumps was offered May 23, when Delta Waterfowl suggested one – or all – flyway zones could see the pintail limit set at three ducks for the 2025-26 season.

While Congressional passage of a massive U.S. Farm Bill likely faces an uphill trek during a presidential election year, conservation groups last week lined up to congratulate members of the House Agriculture Committee on passage of a 2024 version of the bill.
It’s an important step toward legislation that’s typically recreated every five years and funds nutrition, agricultural, and conservation programs, and more, across the nation.
