Interior Department issued waterfowl regulations restricting take in several flyways. Missouri’s St Charles County is closed to canvasback and redhead hunting due to drought reducing bird production.

Regulations outline flexible state level limits due by Aug 20 and allow two segment seasons with set shooting hours from one hour before sunrise to sunset.
