From what I understand it’s proposed it’s not yet approved, but most likely will happen

If I had any say if it goes to 3 it should be either 2 drakes 1 hen or drakes only

It's been approved in the Atlantic flyway for sure. We have it for 25/26

That’s crazy any detail on how many drakes/hens we’re allowed to shoot?

Allowed on west coast and central as well. I swore the only reason it wasnt in effect last season was because it was approved 1 week after the seasons limits were finalized. So they approved it to start 25/26 season. Last I heard was 3 pintails, didnt necessarily make up drake/hen ratios. I never shoot hens (or its very rare) and Im glad about this change. I bet I had a few hundred pintails in and out of my decoys most hunts early season. I would get my 1 good one for the day, and then just watch and weed through them for the mallard to show up. Oh I will be ready for this change, one of my absolute favorite birds is a good ol Pinnie drake.
