Outlook Poor For Minn Duck Hunters Opens Saturday
ST. PAUL AP Minnesota duck season opens at noon Saturday with a disappointing outlook. Local ducks have moved south in cool weather, northern ducks have not yet moved in, and blue winged teal are plentiful enough to justify a long bonus. An aerial survey shows many lakes empty of birds versus last year. The four teal bonus lasts if teal remain. daily limits are four per day eight in possession, with one canvasback or one redhead allowed and two woodducks per day or four in possession.
