What Are the Limits on Upland Bird Hunting?

December 11, 2008

Question: If I’m in the field upland bird hunting and a flock of ducks/geese fly over head, am I allowed to take a shot on those birds also? (Robert G.)

Answer: According to game warden Todd Tognazzini, if you are legally hunting upland birds and it is waterfowl season you can shoot at waterfowl if you are using and possessing only steel shot while hunting and have the required state and federal waterfowl stamps affixed to your license. The federal stamp must be signed across its face to be valid.
