This gives us a number of places to hunt throughout the season. We will scout out the area the day before the hunt begins and locate where the birds are working. We have also established rest areas for the birds that will hold birds in the area, allowing for more successful hunts.
Most hunts take place in covered ground pits in flooded rice or bean fields.
Our hunts take place on private property where you will not be crowded with too many hunters. Nov. 20 through Dec. 20 Dec. 26 through Jan. 23. One additional day, Dec. 21, will be designated youth Waterfowl Hunting Day, with young people 15 and younger able to hunt when accompanied by someone 18 or older. Restrictions on other species of ducks were unchanged except the allowed number of scaup were reduced from 6 to 3 a day. This year Game and Fish commissioners moved up some of the goose dates to make room for expected federal legislation that will allow the use of mechanical calls and unplugged shotguns on overabundant snow geese after other waterfowl seasons close for the second straight year.
