    Has anyone heard what the proposal for Mass Waterfowl dates is?
    Last night I got the latest issue of American Hunter (from NRA).
    In the field notes section, there was a short article on Early
    season regulations for migratory birds.  If I read it correctly,
    it says they have proposed a SEPTEMBER Goose season.  That's the
    first I had heard of that.  Did I misread this or does anyone
    know what the story is?
    
    Some excerts from the article:
    
    	o
    	o
    	o
    A significant change is an expansion of the number of states offering
    September Canada goose seasons in area experiencing agricultural damage
    from resident birds.
    	o
    	o
    	o
    Atlantic Flyway - Continuation of the 45-day woodcock season;
    continuation of early Canada goose hunting seasons in portions of North
    Carolina and the INTRODUCTION OF SEPTEMBER SEASONS in New York and
    MASSACHUSETSS;

| 739.2 | 3 Bird Bag or Aggregate?????? | WILLEE::MANLEY | Wed Sep 05 1990 16:49 | 7 | |
|     Jeff,
    
    Thanks for the dates. Is that 3 birds bag limit or in the aggregate?
    So it looks like October 16th is "personal holiday" day.
    
    Good Luck
    Tom,
