There is a season, they just wont post it until after september 1st. Thats the way the magritory bird laws do in VA. Same as in NC... Only ones they post before sept 1 are dove and early goose (pestulant) season. It is ILLEAGAL to take a duck on your pond out of season... its a federal offense too since migaritory birds are federaly protected. The first duck season should be the close to being the last 4 days of the first week in october, the second split usually starts 2nd sat of nov to sat after thanksgivingm third slpit rund from 2nd sat in dec to 3rd sat in jan. Thos dates are approximate...
