I livein VA and live on 5 acres with a 1 1/2 acre pond. I have noticed lately a large number of ducks, some real nice mallards, hanging out in the pond.

I have been shooting my bow in my yard, and the ducks look like real good targets. I know my rights as a landowner, but have checked my local seasons and bag limits and dont see an actual start of duck season.Isee tons of info on blinds, stamps, etc. but nothing with any dates in the statutes.

Is there a season, or can I legally take a mallard out of my pond?

TIA
