A Modest Duck Hunting Proposal: Make the Last Day of January the End of the Season?
U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R- Miss) has introduced a new bill of great interest to waterfowl hunters, S. 2942, “The Migratory Bird Framework and Hunting Opportunities for Veterans Act.” Essentially, S.2942 addresses two areas of waterfowl hunting. First, the bill would set aside the first weekend in February for duck hunting by youths, veterans, and active duty members of the Armed Forces and National Guard.
