Season Sept.1-30, 2026 and Nov. 22-Dec. 31, 2026 for Sora and Virginia rail (25 daily / 75 possession, aggregate), with a separate Clapper and King rail category (15 daily / 45 possession, aggregate) on the same dates. These dates are consistent across sources, but whether they're genuinely the 2026-27 edition or carried over from 2025-26 isn't fully confirmed -- worth checking against MDWFP's own regulations directly before the season.
