  • It is unlawful to:

    (1) Take wildlife other than ducks and geese, except by permit issued by the Director or a designee.

    (2) Remove geese and ducks from a blind prior to vacating the blind to check out.

    (3) Remain in a blind when the maximum limit of geese has been killed or the ten-round ammunition limit has been expended, or after the time specified on the permit has expired.

    (4) Shoot from other than an assigned blind.

    (5) Enter a closed blind, or a blind other than the one assigned.

    (6) Shoot on, along or from a road or parking area.

    (7) Possess more than ten rounds of ammunition per hunter in the blind. This does not prohibit one member of a party in a blind from giving part of the ten-round allotment to another member of the same party, while in the blind.

    (8) Obtain or possess more than the original ten rounds of ammunition permitted at the beginning of each day.

    (9) Take more than one Canada goose per person per day at a controlled goose hunting area. Season and daily limits on other waterfowl shall conform with Chapter 139 (relating to seasons and bag limits) and 50 CFR Part 20 (relating to migratory bird hunting).

    (10) Take more than one Canada goose per person per season at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area controlled goose hunting area.
