With generous per day limits hunters can harvest up to 28 Geese and 18 ducks per day. With limits like these, small group shoots of 100+ birds are not uncommon. Hunters will encountera variety of birds ranging from huge Canadians and sub-species to mallards, pintail, teal andother puddle ducks.
Literally hundreds of thousands of ducks and geese migrate over and land in the local grain fields to feed each fall. Returning to the same field until the crop is gone or chased off. Past hunters have been very successful field hunting using lay down blinds and a mixture of Canada and duck decoys. In addition to calling use of a mechanical Roto duck has really brought the birds in. Most land owners are more than happy to grant hunter access to their lands to stop the waterfowl from damaging their crops. With most grain farms being 2000 acre+ in size, hundreds of thousands of acres of grain farm land is accessible just by asking.
The waterfowl hunting season is mid September to mid December with the month of October being the best in our area. A non-resident waterfowl license is around $140.
