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 (cross-checked against MN's 2026 woodcock-season close date, since MN defines this season as running to the end of woodcock season), daily bag 8. Possession limit is genuinely contradictory across sources -- one states 2x daily (16) as a general MN rule, another implies the national-standard 24 -- neither independently confirmed as a verbatim per-species figure, so reported as unresolved rather than picked.
