October Waterfowl

Sorry I'm being a bit lazy today. Just wondering What states have waterfowl seasons during the month of October?

Throw a dart, bud!

Minnesota has a mid-season break but mid-October is typically open!

Later October you can find naive migratory birds up here. By the time they get to you, they’ve seen it all!

Second to last weekend of October is typically our opener

Man, California is just evil! I thought waiting until the first week of September was bad.

It runs to the end of January so it's really not bad. We don't seem to get any kind of weather until December anymore so any earlier than it is wouldn't help much. It's dead in a lot of places during November as it is once the local birds get educated. Not saying CA isn't evil in other ways.

If you think that’s bad, the closest refuge to us doesn’t open until the end of November :/. But after keeping day nothing really happens until December anyways like @SO7mm stated

Around the 20th of October here. Planning a trip?

You guys could hammer birds for 50+ days in the plains and go back in time for opener!

Um, damn near all of them?

If you’re hunting the October season, make sure you carry a copy of the “The LeMaster Method”. Usually still an awful lot of brown ducks. We have gone to NoDak for years for the non-res opener and we just call it Brown Duck season.

California, Oregon and Washington all open up in October.

Yes I am. Because Florida is one of the few without an open season in October.

I'd think the further north the better. NoDak or NE Montana would be good.
