Waterfowl season dates and bag limits were set by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Commission at its meeting in Kingsport. Statewide season for ducks will be Nov. 26-27 and Dec.3-Jan. 29 while the Reelfoot Zone will be held Nov. 12-13 and Dec. 3-Jan. 29. The seasons will maximize the number of weekends open to duck hunting and will end on the latest date allowed (the last Sunday in January)

Waterfowl biologist Tim White said habitat conditions in the Prairie Pothole region of the United States and Canada are reported to have been observed as the second wettest ever seen by officials.

Based on these conditions, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has offered a full season with no closed or partial seasons on any species. 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, 1 canvasback, and 1 black duck. The daily bag limit of merganser would be 5, only 2 which may be hooded mergansers.

The youth waterfowl season would indicate only a calendar shift from last year. For youth ages 6-15, the Statewide Zone dates are Feb. 4-5 while the Reelfoot Zone would be Feb. 11-12.
