Bennett as far as i know the fed frame work is the same and va will give us the same amount of days,and has the option to make the season end at the same late date in jan.some like that, big water and field hunters,marsh and swamp hunters dont like the ice late season.i make do and hunt some of all of it and like the season ending late in jan.thinking that it will end a week earlier now but just a guess.i did great late this year on the bay shore and fields mostly geese and some ducks,not sure i like Sunday hunting i fished Sunday and some places the duck hunters not being there was why i went there on Sundays but gonna make the best of it
