The anticipation is building, the excitement is palpable – it’s almost time for the 2024-2025 Michigan duck season! As the summer sun begins to fade and the leaves burst forth in vibrant hues of autumn, waterfowl hunters across the state eagerly await the opportunity to pursue their passion in the marshes and waterways of Michigan. With an abundance of prime hunting locations and a diverse population of waterfowl species, the 2024-2025 season promises to be one for the record books.
This season’s hunting prospects look exceptionally promising, with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) reporting a healthy breeding population and excellent habitat conditions. Several key factors have contributed to this positive outlook, including the ongoing conservation efforts by the MDNR and partner organizations, favorable weather patterns during the nesting season, and an abundance of natural food sources in the wetlands.
