Bag limits rarely make sense

Not long ago I was discussing the puzzling nature of game bird bag limits with a friend who was for three decades a wildlife biologist and manager for a western wildlife agency. I pointed out that during an increase in the Hungarian partridge population more than 25 years ago, the State of Montana increased the daily bag limit from five or six birds to its current eight birds. Yet in spite of the fact that partridge numbers never have been as high as those years in the late ‘80s, the eight-bird-a-day, four-day possession limit of 32 has remained in place all these years.
