The TWRC approved the proposals made by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The seasons reflect few changes from recent years. There will again be a 60-day season for 2010-11 duck hunting, with one split that would end Jan. 30, 2011 and a 6-duck bag limit. The maximum number of days allowed for goose hunting seasons under the federal framework will also be utilized.
The Statewide Zone duck hunting seasons to be held are Nov. 27-28 and Dec. 4-Jan. 30 while the Reel foot Zone will be held Nov. 13-14 and Dec. 4-Jan. 30. The seasons will maximize the number of weekends open to duck hunting and will end on the latest date allowed (the Sunday closest to Jan. 31).
Habitat conditions in the Prairie Pothole region of the United States and Canada were slightly improved over last year and overall duck populations were also up (both well above the long term average). Based on these conditions, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has offered a full season with no closed or partial seasons. The TWRA recommendations follow the maximum USFWS frameworks regarding duck bag limits. A daily bag limit of 6 ducks may include no more than: 4 mallards (no more than 2 of which may be a hen), 3 wood ducks (during the late waterfowl season only), 2 scaup, 2 pintails (an increase from 1 of last year), 1 canvasback, and 1 black duck. The daily bag limit of merganser would be 5, only 2 which may be hooded mergansers.
