Maryland Department of Natural Resources is offering a special waterfowl hunting day on February 8, 2025, for youth, veterans, and military personnel. This event aims to educate the next generation of conservationists and honor the service of military members. Those eligible can hunt ducks, geese, and coots on public and private land, with youth hunters needing an adult mentor and all participants requiring Maryland hunting licenses. The bag limits for the hunting day are the same as regular seasons.
To participate, licenses, stamps, and permits can be purchased online, by phone, at a Natural Resources Service Center, or at a Sport License Agent. Any adult involved in the hunt will need both a Maryland Migratory Game Bird Stamp and a Federal Duck Stamp, while youth hunters under 16 only need the Maryland stamp. For more information, interested hunters can contact the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Wildlife and Heritage Service.
Overall, this special hunting day provides a unique opportunity for youth, veterans, and military personnel to enjoy the thrill of waterfowl hunting while also promoting wildlife conservation and honoring military service.
