The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) would like to remind waterfowl hunters that the harvest of mottled ducks is prohibited in the first 15 days of the regular duck season in both the East and West zones. In the final 45 days of the season, the daily bag limit is one.
Waterfowl hunting begins Nov. 9 in the West Zone and Nov. 16 in the East Zone. Nov. 24 would be the first day in which a mottled duck could be harvested in the West Zone and Dec. 1 in the East Zone.
