The following are migratory game bird species that may be hunted in Ontario during the open season: - Ducks (other than Harlequin Ducks) - Geese, Snow Geese, and Brant - Rails (other than Yellow and King Rails), American Coots, Common Snipe, Common Moorhens - Woodcock Hunters can contribute to their own sport by not firing at those species that are either protected or scarce, and needed as breeders to restore the flocks. It can add to their daily limit - when extra birds of certain species can be taken legally, hunters who know their ducks on the wing come out ahead. Visit the Waterfowl identification Guide for illustrations and descriptions of all waterfowl.
To hunt migratory game birds in Ontario, a person, other than an Indian or Inuk, must have a Federal Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit and a Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp, as well as an Ontario license to hunt small game. Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permits and Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamps are available from any main Canada Post Office.
