We did not abuse the system, but I'm sure others did.

Bill is right. I never abused the privilege. I imposed a personal limit of four birds on myself. That was enough. There were areas on that state land where most people didn't go and I knew where the coveys were likely to be. Most of the pressure, if you could call it that, was on the first few fields. I hunted them a lot too.
