The waterfowl seasons are based on a federal framework that applies to all states in the Mississippi Flyway. Waterfowl hunting regulations are available wherever DNR licenses are sold and regulations are available online at mndnr.gov/regulations/hunting. Duck season will be open for 60 days in each of the three waterfowl zones: • In the north zone, duck season is Sept. 22 through Tuesday, Nov. 20.

Here In the central zone, , duck season is Sept. 22 through Sept. 30, closes for five days, then reopens Oct. 6, and runs through Nov. 25.

In the south zone, duck season is Sept. 22 through Sept. 30, closes for 12 days, then reopens Oct. 13, and runs through Dec. 2. The daily duck bag limit remains six per day. The mallard bag limit remains four per day, including no more than two hen mallards. The daily bag limits are three for wood duck and scaup; and two for redheads, canvasbacks, pintails and black ducks. Minnesota's goose season will reopen in conjunction with the duck season statewide on Sept. 22, with a bag limit of three dark geese per day the entire season.
