A tiny report on the re-opening of the South Australian 2011 duck and quail
hunting season appeared in today's Adelaide Advertiser.
To quote the article:
"South Australia has approved limited duck and quail hunting season for 2011
after surveys reported sufficient bird numbers across southern and eastern
Australian [Typo included].
"Environment minister Paul Caica said duck season would run from February 19 to
June 26, with each hunter limited to 12 birds a day or six Pacific black ducks.
The quail season will run from April 2 to July 26 with a 20-bird daily limit".
"Hunting will be banned at Bool Lagoon and Bucks Lake game reserves in the
south-east".
For those of us who actually have an interest, it would be nice to have a
little more information on the surveys; who conducted them and the results.
What the limits had been in previous years also might be worthwhile to know.
But there is no additional information. All I know is that there's nothing
"sufficient" about the waterbird numbers encountered on my travels recently.
