Tar Heel State hunters shot more than twice as many wood ducks (141,649) as their second most-harvested duck, mallards (60,296). However, North Carolina’s duck harvest of 472,600 is the most in the East by a large margin. Pennsylvania’s 36,300 active waterfowlers edged Maryland and North Carolina for most hunters in the flyway. In the Atlantic Flyway, 227,300 waterfowlers bagged 1.6 million ducks and 754,000 geese. The ring-necked duck harvest of 441,783 leads all divers, while buffleheads (198,855) and redheads (180,781) are second and third, respectively. The blue-winged/cinnamon teal harvest (the species are impossible to distinguish during wing surveys) of 741,867 rounds out the Top 5. Wood ducks typically rank third on the harvest list, but the 1.08 million bagged last year are surpassed by the gadwall harvest of 1.25 million. That’s more than double the second-most harvested species, green-winged teal at 1.58 million. Mallards continue to be the most commonly harvested species, with 3.72 million taken last season. The goose harvest is also up, tallying 3.27 million compared to the 2.54 million birds bagged two seasons ago. duck harvest of 11.6 million is a slight increase over the nearly 11 million shot in 2015-2016. Let’s hope the increase holds in the seasons ahead.

The increase in 2016-2017 doesn’t mean the alarming trend has been reversed, but just maybe, waterfowl mentors and programs like Delta’s First Hunt have begun moving the needle. duck hunter numbers dipped below 1 million. The 2015-2016 estimate is less than half of the 2.03 million waterfowlers that headed afield in 1970, and only the second time in the past 78 years that U.S. This is welcome news, given that duck hunter numbers have been in steady decline. waterfowlers increased from a worrisome tally of 998,600 in the 2015-2016 season to 1.04 million last year. The report includes an encouraging number for those who care about the future of duck hunting and waterfowl conservation: Active U.S.
