The Wisconsin Natural Resources board has voted to move forward with proposed rules for the 2021 migratory bird season framework and regulations.
DNR officials say a new Open Water Zone has been created in the waters of Green Bay and Lake Michigan for duck hunting, and the former Mississippi River Zone has been absorbed into the South Zone.
The board also changed the South Canada Goose Zone hunt to include a daily bag limit of three Canada geese during the first portion of the season, and a limit of five during the Holiday Hunt.
DNR Ecologist Taylor Finger says the 2021 season frameworks are based on the most current scientific data, as well as on input from the public, conservation and hunting groups and results from a waterfowl hunter survey.
