Minnesota’s much-anticipated waterfowl hunting seasons are set to begin on Saturday, September 6, providing hunters with ample opportunities to engage in early teal and goose hunting. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) emphasizes the importance of reviewing regulations, particularly regarding areas around wild rice beds, which are crucial during this time as the rice ripens and may be harvested by local tribes.
In 2025, the early teal season runs from September 6 to September 10, with shooting hours spanning from sunrise to sunset.
