2014 Migratory Bird Regulations and upcoming seasons

Attention Hunters!!!  The 2014 Migratory Bird Regulations have been posted on the DNR website and can be found here http://dnr.wi.gov/files/PDF/pubs/wm/WM0010.pdf , printed pamphlets will be available shortly.

 Also, we would like to take the opportunity to remind you about upcoming hunting opportunities that are opening on September 1st.

New this year the department  will be offering an early teal-only duck hunting season that will run statewide from Sept. 1-7. Hunters will not be required to purchase any additional licenses or permits, other than those required for hunting ducks in the regular waterfowl season.  Shooting hours on Sept 1. are 9 am to 7 pm and shooting hours Sept 2-7 are sunrise to 7 pm.  For more information and details please review the Migratory Bird Regulations pamphlet.  In order to ensure that teal are easily recognized by hunters, the department’s waterfowl webpage features an identification slideshow and quiz, please visit http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/waterfowl.html and brush up on your ID skills.
 

Early Goose Season begins Sept. 1 and runs through Sept. 15 with a 5 bird/day bag limit.  Early Goose Season opening day shooting hours will be 1/2 hour before sunrise as it has been in the past.  For more information please review the Early Goose Regulation Pamphlet or visit this link http://dnr.wi.gov/files/PDF/pubs/wm/WM0194.pdf .
 

Mourning Dove Season begins Sept. 1 and runs through Nov. 29, this year an additional 20 days have been added on to the end of the season.  A new feature that the department has just unveiled is the Fields and Forest Interactive Gamebird Hunting Tool (FFLIGHT), this is an interactive mapping application that identifies quality grouse and woodcock habitat, stocked pheasant properties, and managed dove fields.  Using this tool hunters can now identify and locate all of the fields that the department has planted and managed to help attract and congregate doves.  Please check out this new tool at http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/lands/FFLIGHT.html .
