Wisconsin Waterfowl Season Changes: What Hunters Need to Know for 2026–2030 | Taylor Finger

Wisconsin’s new waterfowl hunting framework is officially set for 2026–2030. Tyler sits down with Wisconsin DNR Game Bird Ecologist Taylor Finger to break down what duck and goose hunters need to know heading into the coming seasons.

They cover the return of the Mississippi River Canada goose opener to the regular duck opener, what stayed the same across Wisconsin’s north, south, and open-water zones, how bag limits can still change within the five-year framework, the outlook for teal season, and why hunter feedback matters long before the next framework is built.
