Minnesota · MigratoryRail (Virginia rail & sora)

Fresh primary-source check per plan 8's 1b (existing raw capture only had a falconry-specific combined bag, not the regular season). WebSearch synthesis (dnr.state.mn.us blocked for direct fetch this session) gives Sept. 1-Nov. 2, 2026 (same window as the sibling snipe record), daily bag 25 combined (Virginia rail and sora). Possession limit is genuinely contradictory across sources -- one states it equals the daily limit (25, a 'no accumulation' rule specifically carved out for rails), another states 75 -- not resolved. One source states king rail may not be taken or possessed in MN (a lean toward confirmed-closed) but this was not independently corroborated a second time.
