Hunters halted

There will be no duck or quail hunting in the Bool Lagoon Game Reserve in 2022 but hunting will be allowed at the Bucks Lake Game Reserve at Carpenter Rocks.

Strong populations of waterfowl will allow for a duck and quail hunting season in other parts of South Australia this year.

The duck hunting season for certain species will open on March 19 and close on June 26.

There will be 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.

In recent years, firearms legislation has been changed and hunting regulations have been tightened to ensure all duck hunters meet stringent conditions, including passing a waterfowl identification test, using non-toxic shot and complying with the Standards for the Humane Destruction of Birds by Shooting.

All hunters with a current open season-endorsed hunting permit are accredited under this system.
