Ask Fish and Game: Bag Limits on Ducks

Q. I'm confused about the bag limit on ducks. The rules say I can take seven ducks. Does that include all ducks, or seven of each? A. The bag limit is the total number you can take; all of one kind or some each of several kinds - mallards, northern pintails, scaup, wood duck, blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, red-head, American widgeon, bufflehead, northern shoveler, common goldeneye or gadwall - for a total of seven. But that doesn't include canvas backs. There is no canvasback season this year. Please check the rules for specific limits on some species, including pintails, redheads, scaup and female mallards.
