Title: Migratory Bird Permits; Permit Exceptions for Captive-Reared Mallard Ducks | |
Abstract:
In carrying out our responsibility to safeguard migratory waterfowl protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, we propose to revise the regulations regarding permit exceptions for captive-reared mallard ducks. We take this action to address our concerns about conflicts that result from the intermingling of captive-reared mallards with wild ducks in the United States. We may place restrictions on the release of free-ranging (hereafter, free-flying) captive-reared mallards and shooting of free-flying captive-reared mallards to conform to hunting seasons and bag limits for wild mallards. |
