Fargo Valley City, ND, October 17, 2026 —
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will keep the state’s current daily duck harvest limit at six after hunter feedback favored retaining the existing regulation over a proposed three-duck limit.
The proposal would have reduced the daily limit from six ducks to three. The department’s decision follows feedback from waterfowl hunters, who favored the current system and raised concerns about simplifying the limit, according to the information provided.
The existing six-duck limit will therefore remain in place. The summary of the decision does not specify when the feedback was collected, how many hunters responded, or whether the department used a formal vote or another process to gather their views. It also does not provide details about the concerns hunters raised beyond their objections to the proposed simplification.
No additional changes to duck-hunting regulations were described. Information was not provided about the proposal’s timing, the areas or seasons to which the limit applies, or whether the department plans to revisit the issue. The department’s stated decision is limited to maintaining the current daily harvest limit rather than adopting the proposed three-duck cap.
The outcome leaves the daily limit at six ducks, reflecting the preference expressed in hunter feedback. Further details about the proposal and the feedback process were not included in the information available.
