From the DNR: In the south duck zone (south of Highway 212), the duck season will run from Saturday, Sept. 27, through Monday, Sept. 29, and Saturday, Oct. 11, through Saturday, Dec. 6.
I personally think it sucks not being able to hunt for the 1st 9 days of the season. If we get an early freeze up, we loose at least 6 good days of hunting.
