Heck yea we have ducks. We are a major breeding ground. Ducks will breed up here in the summer and then fly south for the winter. Alaska ducks use all the "flyways". Season starts the Sep. 1st and runs till the lakes freeze over. But for the most part where I hunt, I can go until late October. We do have to contend with limited shooting hours though. Each day we'll loose about 6 minutes of available "legal" shooting hours.
