Waterfowl Season Opens in IndianaIndianas waterfowl season opens Saturday (Oct. 20) in the North Zone and runs through Dec. 9 for ducks and Nov. 11 for Canada geese. Goose hunters may take three a day, while duck hunters can take six, but may not include more than 4 mallards (2 females max), 3 wood ducks, 2 pintails, 1 black, 2 redheads, 1 canvasback or 4 scaup.
Waterfowl biologists predict a banner year for migrating mallards, but how much time they spend much time in Michiana remains to be seen. Cold weather in some of the northern states may have pushed some birds down, but the major flight hasnt materialized. Low water conditions wont help, but the recent rains and colder weather could bode well for waterfowlers later this month.
