So, been giving this a lot of thought. Since Mn shoots a majority of their ducks in the first 9 days of the season why wouldn't the season run for 9-12 days shut down over a weekend then hold a special 1 day hunt for people that have not had a license in the last 10 years. See I'm not all for ywd because my son hunts with me about 30 days a year ( yes I take him on ywd in both Mn and Wisconsin, why because they offer it).
Being able to take people that have not had a license in the past 10 years may help out hunter numbers and should allow Minnesotans to harvest their ducks.
Any thoughts? If ywd would remain it should only be for kids that have not hunted ducks in the past.
