Late Nov - End of Feb


The reason it’s not this is because it’s not sustainable for the species. Most ducks are paired up and this would be detrimental to them. That’s why it always end in January.

Yep. Shot a pair of greys, drake and a hen last weekend of the season and almost felt bad knowing they were paired up and nearly made it to the end without getting shot.

It's actually part of a Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act that a set waterfowl season in the states can't go past January other than a Youth/Veteran Hunt Day.

True. Maybe open it a little earlier in November. I honestly don't know if the season dates would do much for everywhere, but it might help the south but you are correct about reproduction.
