Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, Illinois, National Hunting, National News, News /

Duck hunters could see a bigger bag limit for northern pintails as soon as the 2025-26 season, if U.S. Fish and Wildlife population census numbers for the duck match set goals.
Regulations for the 2024-25 season are already set: The daily bag limit is one pintail daily in all four flyways. And it could stick there for awhile. 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.

Home Page News, National Fishing, National Hunting, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky /

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.
