Hunting on the controlled portion of McClintic WMA during the Oct. 1-14 split of the waterfowl season is by permit only. For the 2020 season, permit holders are not required to report to the McClintic WMA office on the morning of their hunt to prevent potential spread of COVID-19. Additionally, walk-ons will not be permitted during the 2020 season.

DNR anticipates returning to normal procedures for the controlled waterfowl hunt next year. For more information about the 2020 waterfowl season, download a copy of the 2020-21 Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations.
