Commentary: USFWS adopts new harvest strategy for pintails

For the first time in nearly 30 years, duck hunters in the Lower 48 states could have the chance to shoot three pintails a day as soon as the 2025-26 season – a possible outcome of an interim population and harvest strategy being put into use by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
However, it’s important to note that despite a change in the model, the daily bag limit for all future seasons still depends on pintail populations and habitat conditions on the breeding grounds.

Three waterfowl species subject to be renamed

The American Ornithological Society plans in 2024 to begin renaming up to 80 bird species, and three waterfowl species – Ross’s goose, Barrow’s goldeneyes, and Steller’s eiders – are likely to be among the birds that are given new names.
AOS, the recognized authority on bird naming in North America, plans to rename all species that are named after people. In a Nov. 1 press release, the AOS announced the changes are being made “in an effort to address past wrongs and engage far more people in the enjoyment, protection, and study of birds.”
