South Zone (except Moapa Valley): Oct. 17-25, 2026 and Oct. 28, 2026-Jan. 31, 2027. South Zone (Moapa Valley to Muddy/Virgin Rivers confluence): Oct. 31, 2026-Jan. 31, 2027.
Fresh primary-source check per plan 8's 1b (existing raw capture was silent).WebSearch synthesis (ndow.org blocked for direct fetch this session), sourced to NDOW Commission Regulation CR-26-10 (dated Feb. 6, 2026), gives a real, zone-split season: Northeast Zone Sept. 26-Dec. 1, 2026 and Dec. 12, 2026-Jan. 18, 2027; Northwest Zone Oct. 17, 2026-Jan. 3, 2027 and Jan. 6-31, 2027; South Zone (except Moapa Valley) Oct. 17-25, 2026 and Oct. 28, 2026-Jan. 31, 2027; South Zone (Moapa Valley to the Muddy/Virgin Rivers confluence) Oct. 31, 2026-Jan. 31, 2027. Bag/possession returned consistently as 3 daily / 9 possession across two independent search passes citing the same document -- but this is unusually low next to the ~8/24 figure most other states report under the same federal snipe framework, raising a real risk the search tool cross-attributed a different species' (e.g. rail's) limit to snipe. Reporting the season dates with moderate confidence and the bag/possession figure with low confidence -- follow-up recommended to confirm the bag number directly against CR-26-10.
