DNR proposes regular-season 2014 waterfowl season dates The regular-season wa- terfowl dates, as proposed to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) by the Indiana DNR, are list- ed below. The dates are not final un- til approved by the USFWS in mid- to late-September. Look for another announce- ment around that time that will either confirm or amend these dates. Historically, they have been accepted as proposed. The DNR's recommend- ed dates for ducks, coots and mergansers are: • North Zone: Oct. 18 to Dec. 7, and Dec. 20 to 28 • Central Zone: Oct. 25 to Dec. 7, and Dec. 20 to Jan. 4 • South Zone: Nov. 1-9, and Nov. 29 to Jan. 18 The daily bag limit for ducks in all zones is six, in- cluding no more than four mallards (of which no more than two can be hens), three scaup, three wood ducks, two pintails, two redheads, one canvasback, one black duck, and one mottled duck. The daily bag limit for coots is 15. The daily bag limit for mergansers, separate from ducks, is five, of which no more than two can be hood- ed mergansers. The posses- sion limit is three times the daily bag limit. The USFWS estimates the mallard breeding popu- lation at 10.9 million, about the same as last year, and 42 percent higher than the long-term average. Esti- mates of most species were similar to last year's record- setting estimates. Total ducks, gadwalls, green- and blue-winged teal, shovelers, and redheads remain at or near record levels in 2014. For Canada geese, white- fronted geese, brant, and light geese, the proposed dates are: • North Zone: Oct. 18 to Nov. 9; Nov. 27 to Jan. 4; and Jan. 20 to 31 • Central Zone: Oct. 25 to Dec. 7; Dec. 20 to Jan. 4; and Jan. 18 to 31 • South Zone: Nov. 1-10, and Nov. 29 to Jan. 31 The daily bag limit this year for Canada geese dur- ing the regular season will remain at three, and the dai- ly bag limit for white-fronted geese at two. The daily bag limit for brant is one. The possession limit is three times the daily bag limit. The daily bag limit for light geese (snow and/or Ross' geese in aggregate) is 20, with no possession limit for light geese. The proposed light goose conservation order is Feb. 1 to March 31, statewide, ex- cept for those counties that have a late season on Cana- da geese. For those counties with a late season on Cana- da geese, the proposed light goose conservation order season is Feb. 16 to March 31. The light goose conserva- tion order has no bag or pos- session limit. A free permit is required. Details will be available later in the winter. The DNR's recommend- ed dates for youth waterfowl season are: • North Zone: Oct. 11–12 • Central Zone: Oct. 18– 19 • South Zone: Oct. 25–26 Bag and possession lim- its are the same as the reg- ular seasons. The youth wa- terfowl season is open to youths age 15 and younger, accompanied by an adult. DNR's recommended dates for extended falconry season for ducks, coots and mergansers are: • North Zone: Sept. 27– 30, and Feb. 14 to March 10 • Central Zone: Oct. 18- 24, and Feb. 17 to March 10 • South Zone: Oct. 25-31, and Feb. 17 to March 10 For more information, contact Adam Phelps, DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife, at (812) 334-1137 or aph- elps@dnr.IN.gov.
