There was no duck hunting in the Bool Lagoon Game Reserve when the 2022 season began on Saturday.
However, strong populations of waterfowl have permitted duck and quail hunting season in other parts of South Australia this year.
The duck hunting season for certain species is starting a few weeks later than normal and will close on June 26.
There is a total bag limit of eight ducks per hunter per day.
The stubble quail hunting season will run from April 30 until July 31 with a bag limit of 20 quail per hunter per day.
South Australian legislation allows for properly managed and regulated game bird hunting by licensed shooters.
