MADISON (AP) — Wisconsin wildlife experts say ducks are healthy and abundant heading into the autumn hunt.
Department of Natural Resources migratory bird ecologist Kent Van Horn says the numbers are so plentiful that hunters can enjoy the maximum 60-day season allowed by federal regulations.
The duck hunt in the northern zone opens next Saturday and continues through Nov. 25.
In the southern zone, there’s a split season, with the first one opening Oct. 4 and running through Oct. 12. The season reopens again Oct. 18 and runs through Dec. 7.
Van Horn says the four most abundant ducks are mallards, wood ducks, green-winged teal and blue-winged teal. He says the breeding and brood rearing habitat in the state was good this year.
