[Fish Felon]

Does anyone even pay atttention to limits anymore??

Yes.

Only because it's important to know how many need to be fed to the dog before heading in.

To shoot limits?

It's been many years since i've shot a "limit" of ducks.

If the mid continent population is above 500,000 for 2 year we can have a 2 can limit. Other wise it's 1

Not saying that you are right or wrong, but I thought it was when they were over 700k.
2 years ago they were more than this year see page 15 and we did not have a 2 a day season. Last year they were at 787K and we had a 2 a day season.

Cans data from survey: Total for 2014 685K. 2013 787k % drop −13% Long term average 580k +18%

The final USFWS recomendations for season framework will be out today or Monday.

Per Steve Corts:

Cans: Next years predicted can population (with a 2 bird bag this year) would have to be 725K. Since its not, it’s a 1 bird bag. That’s based on a can harvest strategy/model.

Canvasbacks: This year’s spring survey resulted in an estimate of 685,000 canvasbacks. This was similar to the 2013 estimate of 787,000 canvasbacks and 18% above the 1955–2013 average. The estimate of ponds in Prairie Canada was 4.6 million, which was also similar to last year’s estimate of 4.6 million and 33% above the long-term average. Based on harvest predictions using data through 2009, the canvasback harvest strategy predicts a 2015 canvasback population of 730,600 birds under a liberal duck season with a 1-bird daily bag limit and 671,000 with a 2-bird daily bag limit. Because the predicted 2015 spring canvasback population under a Liberal 1-bird bag season is greater than 500,000, and the predicted population under a Liberal 2- bird bag is less than 725,000, and since the recommended duck season under AHM is liberal, the harvest strategy stipulates that there should be a full canvasback season with a 1-bird bag.
