Fins, Furs and Feathers, official
magazine of the State Game and
Fish Department, in an article on
duck restrictions, says: ut might
be we'll to again mention the fact
that although our state law permits
daily limit of IL ducks, and the
federal law a limit of Is, the state
law prevails. But, there is the
Joker. The new federal restric-
ton only permits the daily kill of
any or all of the following species
redhead, canvasback, greater or
lesser scaup, ringneck, blue-winged
teal, green-winged teal, cinnamon
teal (not found in Minnesota), CAD
wall and shoveler. In other words
when and if the Minnesota hunter
has obtained ten of the above men
toned species, he must complete
his limit of twelve with two, not OF
any of the above species, such as
mallard, pintail or baldplate."
