Any licensed hunter 15 years old or younger may participate during this one-day hunt. Youth of this age who are exempt from Maryland hunting license requirements may also participate. Young waterfowl hunters must possess a receipt showing they purchased a $9 Maryland Migratory Game Bird Hunting Stamp. Note that hunters under 16 years old do not need to purchase a federal duck stamp.
Participating young hunters must also be accompanied by an adult at least 21 years old who holds a valid Maryland hunting license or is exempt from the hunting license requirements. One adult may take several youth hunters and that adult may call waterfowl, assist with decoys and retrieve downed birds but may not possess a firearm or bow.
The bag limit for the Youth Waterfowl Hunting Day is the same as the regular season, except one black duck and two Canada geese may also be taken. For a complete description of waterfowl bag limits see http://www.dnr.maryland.gov/huntersguide/lwfchart.asp.
