This is a general report of the Michigan waterfowl season for 1995-96. Important changes for 1995-96 were liberalization of the length of the duck season to 50 days (compared to 40 in 1994), and increasing the total daily duck bag limit to five (three in 1994) due to the prediction of a much improved fall flight. Initial sales reports of 1995 state waterfowl stamps (69,315 through December 31) suggest at least a 6 percent increase from last year. This will represent the largest sale of state waterfowl stamps since 1979. Goose harvest during the special early and late seasons is expected to be up slightly from the record 1994 levels, due to increased hunter interest, expansion of the early goose season to the entire UP, five additional days in the northern LP, high local giant Canada populations, and low snowfall during the late special season. Regular season goose harvest is expected to be down slightly due to lower age ratios of juveniles in the harvest. Michigan hunters experienced a good duck season, until the freeze on November 12 severely restricted hunting opportunities for the last three weeks of the season. The 1995 Michigan duck harvest is likely to be up slightly from 1994. High harvest rates during the first half of the season and greater hunter participation probably compensated for the loss of opportunity after freeze-up.

Michigan had 183 cooperators that filled out special hunter report cards to gather additional information about ruffed grouse. Cooperators spent an average of 37 hours hunting last fall which was one hour more than in 1991. The average hunter spent about 18 hours afield. Flush rates per hour of hunting for ruffed grouse decreased 21 percent statewide and decreased 18 percent and 25 percent in Regions I and II, respectively. For woodcock, the flush rate statewide was down 16 percent and down 14 percent and 20 percent in Regions I and II, respectively.

Report of the small game and waterfowl hunting season in the Allegan area for 1937.

Waterfowl regulations are adjusted periodically to reflect the population status of species most common in the harvest. Hunter success and species composition in the harvest are often influenced by breeding habitat conditions and fall weather. This report reviews regulations, weather and waterfowl movements, and preliminary results of the 1999-2000 Michigan waterfowl hunting season. The 1999-2000 Michigan waterfowl regulations did not differ significantly from last year. The 1999 duck season openers were considered above average due in large part to the abundance of green-winged teal available to hunters. However, the total Michigan duck harvest was projected to be similar to last year's modest harvest at least in part due to mild weather. Hunter success during early and regular Canada goose seasons was on track to be lower than last year. The late Canada goose season should have a substantial increase in harvest compared to last year, and giants should dominate the harvest.
