The Minnesota DNR is proposing a new, optional three-duck bag limit that would allow hunters to harvest three ducks of any species daily. The Duck Summit Group has discussed this proposal, and most of our members oppose this option.
The goal of the Duck Summit (DS) back in March was to have waterfowl professionals discuss regulations, and then participants were surveyed on their support of possible regulation changes.
Thousands will make their way to the Ramsey area this weekend to participate in Minnesota’s 45th annual Game Fair.
The outdoor event will be held the weekends of Aug. 7-9 and Aug. 14-16 again at the 80-acre Armstrong Ranch. Launched by Chuck and Loral I Delaney back in 1982, the event draws tens of thousands of visitors across both weekends.

The role of these citizen councils is to advise their state natural resources agency and politicians on policy that is important to game, fish and wildlife issues. Minnesota is one state without such a council or board, but the group that organized Minnesota’s first Duck Summit this past March to address concerns about duck hunting in the state is pushing to change that.
