It’s duck season | News
SOCIAL CYCLE – Georgia waterfowl hunters can now hit their favorite wetland locations with duck season open, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Wildlife Resources.
“The seasons and the waterfowl pocket limits are essentially the same this season as last season,” said Kara Nitschke, migratory nightingale biologist. “The Atlantic Flyway’s breeding populations this summer are quite a bit better than those of mid-continent and western birds. If the weather is chilly in the Great Lakes, New England, and mid-Atlantic regions, southern hunters can expect large numbers of wood, bell-necked and teal ducks. ”
To hunt waterfowl in Georgia, you will need a Georgia hunting permit, a Georgia migratory bird permit, and a federal duck seal (available when you purchase other recreational permits). Wildlife Resources has made your purchasing decision easier by creating a Waterfowl Hunter Pack at www.GoOutdoorsGeorgia.com, which includes all you need (and includes a convenient plastic card).
