Looks like we have a long season to look forward too!  I can't wait TWRA has maximized the number of weekends that can be hunted.  I know for me thats important.  The canvasback is allowed in the bag this year if your gunning for a "trophy".  Good luck this season.
The Statewide Zone duck hunting seasons to be held Nov. 28-29 and Dec. 5-Jan. 31 while the Reelfoot Zone will be held Nov. 14-15 and Dec. 5-Jan. 31.  A daily bag limit of 6 ducks may include no more than: 4 mallards (no more than 2 of which may be a hen), 3 wood ducks (during the late waterfowl season only), 2 scaup, 1 pintail, 1 canvasback, and 1 black duck. The daily bag limit of merganser would be 5, only 2 which may be hooded mergansers.
Season dates for Canada geese are Oct. 3-Oct. 9 and Nov. 28-Jan. 31 in the Statewide Zone. In the Northwest Zone, the dates are Dec. 5-Feb. 14.
