Lanyard I think you are incorrect. This taken right from MWA's mission statement that Fowler pasted- 4) Recruit new hunters, expand hunter opportunity, and teach ethical skills and behaviors that will ensure our hunting heritage. 5) Protect hunting rights, shooting sports, and associated activities...

"They"??? Tom is the boss, his 1 on 1 conversations with waterfowl hunters have been 2/3 against the early teal season. That is indeed the heart of the matter in that 2/3 are against it. The no early teal season is because the rank and file waterfowl hunters did not overwhelmingly support...
