The Minnesota DNR has set the state’s waterfowl-hunting seasons for 2024, including offering hunters a five-day early teal season, with its opener slated for Sunday, Sept. 1.
The backdrop of the early teal season follows three experimental seasons (2020-23) in which hunters had to meet compliance “performance” measures on so-called non-target bird species as outlined by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The potential effects on non-teal species have been a concern of waterfowl officials since the first experimental early teal seasons in the Central and Mississippi flyways in the mid-1960s.
