Here in La our Season limit is Two birds, this just changed in 04 from a 4 bird limit- One license was good for you season limit.
The reduction of the limit was due to several new areas around the state that they opened to season that had not previously been open.
Personally, I think it was a smart move on behalf of the LDWF to make this change state wide rather then by areas. This will be the second year for the two bird limit so I'm thinking that within the next year we should definatly see a dramatic increase in the birds we are seeing.
