Northeast Oregon – For those that may have missed the call, duck season officially opened in Oregon across both management zones on October 14. The zone 2 season will last through December 3 and briefly close before reopening from December 7 through January 28, 2024.

For those that need a reminder on bag limit and permit regulations, ODFW states:

“Permits are required for: band-tailed pigeon, brant, and sea ducks. The daily bag limit of ducks (including mergansers) is seven. Within the daily bag limit, you may not have more than: two scaup (during open season), two hen mallards, one pintail, two redheads, and two canvasbacks. The possession limit is triple the daily bag limit.”
