Well, the revelation here might rely on your interests come fall when the annual hunting seasons get into full swing. A high level duck hunter, there is a bit of good news. If you're an upland bird hunter, designed for pheasants, you have some bad news. Fish and Wildlife Service Committee meeting a week ago passed a couple of things that will greatly benefit Kansas migratory game bird hunters this season," said Tom Bidrowski, Waterfowl Program Coordinator for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism. "There will be an increase in the September teal season bag limit from four to six birds." That's great news for hunters who enjoy the special tealonly season. Both bluewing and greenwing teal are legal noisy . season and many duck hunters benefit from the sporting, and attractive, aspects of both these early migrants. "The teal harvest assessment recently released looked at teal populations and current harvest levels and possibility to increase harvest," Bidrowski said. "One of the things it outlined was there was still a lot of opportunity, designed for bluewing teal, to harvest (more) inside the biological constraints of the species." The second thing migratory game bird hunters will want to write down is the change in possession limit of migratory game birds like doves, ducks, geese, rails, woodcock snipe and cranes. Previously, the possession limit for these species continues to be 2 times the daily bag limit. Now, the possession limit for migratory birds continues to be changed to three times the daily bag limit. "This continues to be standard within the federal framework since 1930," Bidrowski said from the old regulation of twice the daily bag for possession. "One of the things discussed for changing was the ability to allow hunters who traveled to carry a larger possession limit. "For example,moncler pas cher suisse, the majority of our dove harvest occurs throughout the first couple weeks of the season,canada goose," Bidrowski said. "Most hunters are limited simply because they venture out two times and get their daily bag limit and they are basically done hunting until they eat those doves and they are limited on how often they can go hunting." There might be more great news for waterfowlers after this month. Fish and Wildlife Service will be meeting to go over Canada goose management and the chance of increasing the daily bag limit for Canada geese. "It's something the Flyways have been requesting the final several years," Bidrowski said. "Particularly, to deal with our growing resident Canada goose populations. The Flyways have been diligently working on their management plans and harvest objectives and that's another thing that will be presented at our next meeting on July 31 and August 1. "There may well be a good chance there to have an rise in harvest for Canada geese," Bidrowski said. "So that's still possible with this fall." Duck hunters pray for rainy, wet weather in the northern Usa and Canada, where most ducks and geese are hatched. This spring has been a good one from that aspect. "The official numbers aren't out yet, but exploring the climate conditions up there, it's wet," Bidrowski said. "Ducks are highly based mostly on wetlands, so years when they've had good water conditions like we've had for the last decade in the prairies, we're again likely to be looking at our liberal seasons with very good duck numbers this year." The entire waterfowl season dates and bag limits will be set at the August 1 KDWPT Commission meeting. And now for that bad news. If you're a devoted upland bird hunter, you might want to take a seat to see the remainder. "In 2010 we had among the best pheasant years we'd been on 20plus years," said Jim Pitman, small game program coordinator for that KDWPT. "I think our harvest involved 900,canada goose outlet review,000 pheasants, and our crow counts were the highest ever recorded since we started the surveys in 1986. "Now, our crow counts this spring were the lowest we've ever recorded, and our harvest last fall (approximately 200,000) was the cheapest we'd recorded since 1957, which was the entire year we started the little game survey," Pitman explained. "So we went in one of the greatest years to the worst year probably, in just 2 yrs due to the drought." Historical averages find Kansas pheasant hunters killing about 600,000 birds annually. The lack of rain and subsequent drought is likely the sole reason behind the drastic decline in pheasant numbers recently. or grassland areas," Pitman said. "It's just poor vegetative structure because of the drought." The drought ultimately impacts production, nest success and chick survival, according to Pitman. Although parts of Kansas received plenty of rains, western areas of Kansas are still struggling to get caught up, and also the drought is ongoing. "It hurts all of them the way in which through the process," Pitman said of the insufficient adequate moisture. "And that isn't only for pheasants, as we have seen similar declines for quail and lesser prairie chickens in that country, too." The far southwest area of the state saw an 80 percent decline in crow counts compared to 2 yrs ago. Other areas of the state in central and northwest Kansas are way down, in the neighborhood of fifty or 60 % declines. "The only bright spot is the fact that northwest Kansas isn't as bad as southwest Kansas,canada goose pas cher enfant, however they are still down, too," Pitman said. "It's going to be pretty hard to accentuate anything good this fall." Pitman said climate conditions happen to be better this year for productivity than they have previously. "We may get some production this season, which supports just a little," Pitman said. "But starting off as low as we're this spring it won't be real good." Pitman hopes this production might create at least several bright spots this fall for some hunters. "But it won't be up to our average conditions we have seen the final Ten years," he said. The good thing is pheasant populations are resilient. "Even as little as we are right now, when we happen to find some good moisture over the summer, it will make for better production next year," Pitman said. "If we can string 2 or 3 years together in a row like this, we'll be back where we were at in 2010." |
