The year’s end is four days away, not counting today. Next Tuesday, Dec. 31, will be the last day of the hunting season for several species including forest grouse. Through Tuesday, the legal limit is four of any species, to include not more than three of each species.

Also: For fall turkey in Game Management Units 101 through 154, and 162 through 186 the limit is two beardless and two either-sex turkeys.

This means a hunter with four tags could bag four beardless turkeys or two with beards and two without. The four-month season will also end next Tuesday.

Seasons continue

Several more hunting seasons will continue. These include:

Quail and partridge: The quail and Hun season continue through Jan. 20. The quail daily limit is 10. The partridge daily limit is six chukar and six Huns per day. The Huns are also called gray partridge, but are referred to as Hungarian partridge, thus the Hun or Huns designation.
