Statewide Daily Limit for Ducks and Mergansers ​

There are daily limit restrictions on some species that are heavily harvested (e.g., mallards) or whose populations have demonstrated long-term decline (e.g., pintails and scaup). Canvasback season is closed.
The daily limit for ducks is 6 and may include:

• no more than 4 mallards (no more than 1 of which may be a female)
• 1 scaup (bluebill) except for the following dates in each Waterfowl Hunting Zone where the daily limit is 2:

North Zone: October 11 - October 30
Middle Zone: October 18 - November 6
South Zone: October 25 - November 13​

• 3 wood ducks
• 2 redheads
• 1 northern pintail
• 1 American black duck
• Canvasback season is closed

In addition to the duck limit, hunters may take 5 mergansers, only 2 of which may be hooded merganser.
The possession limit is twice the daily limit for ducks and mergansers. [/font]
