The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection\’s Division of Fish and Wildlife recently selected the state\’s 2011-2012 migratory bird hunting season regulations. Major changes for the upcoming season include the following:
- The duration of the woodcock season was increased from 24 to 36 days.
- The brant season will be closed during part of the duck season in all zones.
In 2011, the status of ducks and their habitats in mid-continent and eastern North America are sufficient to justify a liberal duck hunting season framework. In Atlantic Flyway states like New Jersey, this will be the 15th consecutive year with a 60-day duck season.
