Good Season Ahead For Duck Hunters
Washington officials announced the 1956-57 waterfowl season framework with a cautious positives tone. Secretary Seaton said migratory waterfowl hunting is “as good as last year” as states gain flexibility within Oct 1 1956 to Jan 15 1957 dates. Changes include an 8 to 105 day coot season in Pacific Flyway states, possible shorter duck seasons and larger bag limits for Minnesota and perhaps North Dakota, and a wood duck season close in the Mississippi Flyway. Daily limits stay at four ducks and eight possessions generally, with Minnesota at five ducks per day. goose limits remain five per day with species caps, and varied flyway rules apply.
