For those of you who didn't see this in the new regs yet...
The metro goose dates are now Sept. 4th-12th. NOT the 1-15th like past years.
That put a wrench in my plans, already took off September 1-3 so I could get out and hunt. I guess I will have 3 days off to scout now.
They are saying that the majority of those who expressed an opinion want the south zone moved up a week this year in order for us to have a better chance of hitting the migration. Notice when they say opinion.....they don't say informed opinions. How many are just going along with Uncle Guy's...

'09 Ducks boils down to this:
N zone (2nd segment) Oct 10 - Dec3 or Oct 17-Dec 10
S zone Oct 17-Dec 10 or Oct 24- Dec 17
