*MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds the public to submit their input on the proposed 2026-2031 duck hunting season zones and splits. Highlights from the proposed season structure include duck zone options and duck season split options.

Every five years, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) gives states an opportunity to review and change the zones and splits for their duck hunting season structures.

The DNR will host a series of public meetings to present information on the proposed zones and splits structure for the 2026-2031 duck hunting seasons. The public is encouraged to attend or provide feedback using the DNR’s Online Input Tool [ [link removed] ]. Comments may also be submitted through email or mail.

Feedback regarding the duck hunting season’s proposed zones and splits structure must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, March 30, 2025.

Please submit written questions or comments to:
