Transcribed from an existing knowledge-base raw capture (originally scoped to dove/woodcock only, per plan 8's 1b). MD DNR's Hunting Seasons Calendar for 2026-2027 gives a real season, Sept. 1, 2026 - Nov. 20, 2026, from a single undifferentiated 'Rails' row -- no Virginia/sora vs. king/clapper split, and no bag or possession limit stated anywhere in this source. Follow-up recommended to confirm the specific MD bag limit and category breakdown.
