How many shells can you have while duck hunting?
The number of shells you can have while duck hunting is regulated by state laws. In general, most states allow hunters to possess no more than 25 shells per day while hunting waterfowl. This limit is in place to help prevent over-harvesting of ducks and geese.
In some states, the shell limit may vary depending on the type of waterfowl being hunted. For example, some states may allow hunters to possess more shells when hunting geese than when hunting ducks. It is important to check the regulations in your state before going hunting to make sure you are in compliance with the law.
In addition to the state law, there may also be federal regulations that limit the number of shells you can have while duck hunting. The federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits the taking of migratory birds with more than three shells in the chamber and magazine combined. This means that you can only have a total of three shells loaded in your shotgun at any one time.
It is important to follow all state and federal regulations when duck hunting. If you are caught violating the law, you could be subject to fines and other penalties.
