Good Duck Season Ends December 16
The 1955 waterfowl season in Iowa closes December 16 after a start marked by poor early shooting due to scarce ducks. A late surge in November brought in large numbers of ducks from the Canadian prairies, with hunter success rising on the Mississippi, Missouri, and inland areas. The major early November mallard flight energized season memories, rivaling the Armistice Day flight of 1940 in some veteran perspectives.
