Here is Ohio's


October 18 in both Ohio's north and south zones. Hunters 15 years of age and younger will have the opportunity to enjoy a special statewide season October 4-5.
[align=left]
The duck-hunting season in the North Zone is October 18 through December 7, with a second season open December 20 through December 28. In the South Zone, duck season is open October 18 through November 2, with a second season opening December 6 and running through January 18, 2009. [/align][align=left]
The daily bag limit for ducks is six, which may not include more than four mallards (no more than one may be female), one black duck, one pintail, three wood ducks, two redheads, and three mottled ducks. Due to continuing low breeding populations of lesser scaup, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service has offered a mixed scaup bag limit with 40 days of a one-bird limit and 20 days of a two-bird limit. [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]As a result, Ohio hunters can take one scaup ( North Zone from October 18 - November 17 and December 20 - December 28; South Zone from October 18 - November 2 and December 26 - January 18), or two scaup (North Zone from November 18 - December 7; South Zone from December 6 - December 25). Possession limits after the first day are twice the daily bag limit. Hunting season for canvasbacks will be closed. [/align][align=left]
The daily bag limit for mergansers is five, of which only two may be hooded. The daily bag limit for coots is 15. Possession limits after the first day are twice the daily bag limit. [/align][align=left]
In the Lake Erie Canada Goose Zone, the goose season is October 18 through November 30 with a second season opening December 3 and running through December 28. The goose season for the remainder of the North Zone is October 18 through November 30, with a second season December 17 through January 11, 2009. In the South Zone, goose season is October 18 through November 5 with a second season December 6 through January 25, 2009.[/align][align=left]
The daily bag limit for Canada geese is two. Light geese (snows, blues, Ross') have a daily bag limit of 10, and white-fronted geese and brant have a daily bag limit of two.[/align][align=left][/align][align=left][/align][align=left]Looks like I will be able to hunt geese a lot this year [/align][align=left]As I hunt both the Lake Erie and North zone's [/align][align=left]Oct 18 - Nov 30 and Dec 3 - Jan 11 [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]If I make my normal trip to the south zone it will be till Jan 25 [/align][align=left][/align][align=left]John[/align]
