Daily Limit for Ducks and Mergansers

There are daily limit restrictions on some species that are heavily harvested (e.g., mallards) or whose populations have demonstrated long-term decline (e.g., pintails and scaup).

The daily limit for ducks is 6 and may include:

  • no more than 4 mallards (no more than 1 of which may be a female)
  • 2 scaup (bluebill)
  • 2 wood ducks
  • 2 redheads
  • 2 canvasbacks
  • 1 northern pintail
  • 1 American black duck

 In addition to the duck limit, hunters may take 5 mergansers, only 2 of which may be hooded merganser.

The possession limit is twice the daily limit for ducks and mergansers.
