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.

As far as I can tell, it is three either sex.
Our final regulations are not out yet but in our season setting meeting there was no differentiation made between Hen and Drake

Hopefully someone makes that differentiation

I was just in North Dakota snow goose hunting….. the pintail show every morning was pretty amazing! I’ve never seen so many! Last fall we would have our pintail limit in short order and then pass them the rest of the morning.
