Duck Hunting
Both resident and migratory bird populations are available to all duck hunters on an annual basis.  With favorable wetlands conditions in spring and summer breeding habitats and habitat conservation ongoing in winter flock areas most waterfowl populations that are available to duck hunters are in good shape.  

By far the most popular and sought after duck is the regal mallard.  Mallard flocks are strong.  This green-headed trophy is enjoyed by many duck hunters at the dinner table on cool autumn evenings.  Canvasback and pintail populations have made a resurgence in the last couple of years.  Duck hunting and duck populations are strongly tied to habitat and water during the critical periods of the year.

As a duck hunter you can pursue your winged quarry in virtually every State and Province in North America.  Some of the best duck hunting occurs on private farm and ranch lands so spend some time before the season developing a relationship with your favorite farmer or rancher.  There are also numerous State and Federal waterfowl production and management areas that are open to the public for duck hunting free of charge.  Regardless of your duck hunting preference be sure and take the time to explore the links to duck hunting websites on this page.
