Question about daily bag limit (new hunter)
« on: November 14, 2016, 05:26:27 PM »
I'm having trouble understanding the daily bag limit. There isn't anything about the American wigeon or teals. Does this mean you can get as many wogeon and traps as you want? I went hunting last weekend and I got one duck and I believe it was a wigeon.

Daily bag limit is 7 ducks.  They can be all teal, or all wigeon, or a combination thereof.  The individual limits, such as 2 hen mallards applies to the total daily limit of 7 ducks.  I.e, you can shoot 2 hen mallards and then 5 other ducks and still be within compliance.

Make sense?

Yes thank you for the reply, I usually hunt with my other friends who know what they are doing but this weekend I am going on my own for the first time. Just don't want to break any rules.

Good for you for asking.

It can be a little daunting when you first get started, but it gets easier,

Happy hunting!

Also notice the 2 pintail per day limit! They have a knack for knowing when you've already shot the two you're allowed per day, then really start piling into the decoys

Hopefully you will get somewhere near 7, today was extremely slow.  15 minutes before shooting time I had multiple flocks in my decoys then when legal time turned over it was like someone flipped a switch and the morning flight was over before it began.

Warm calm days are not helping.

Yeah they don't seem to fly when it's warm out. I went last weekend and missed so many shots the first hour. I could of had like 7 ducks but only came out with 1. I'm going to go pattern my gun tomorrow so I know how it shoots. I was missing birds flying straight infront me landing in my spread!

What choke are you shooting?  I typically shoot I/C over decoys on the water.

Welcome to duck hunting.  If we understand half our misses we are doing good.   If I was a guessing man I'd say you missed the ones landing in front of you by shooting over them.
