As the waterfowl hunting season kicks off in Green Bay, local police are urging residents to familiarize themselves with the regulations and guidelines to ensure safe practices. The season spans from September 1 to January 2, with hunters permitted to hunt between 30 minutes before sunrise and sunset. Specific local hunting zones, such as the Bay Beach Park area, have distinct rules that residents and hunters need to be aware of, particularly regarding distances from shorelines and hunting on private property.
To promote awareness, the Green Bay Police Department highlights that hunters must remain in water while changing locations and must obtain permission from property owners if retrieving birds that fall onto private land. These reminders are especially pertinent for residents near East Shore Drive, who may encounter increased hunting activity and associated noise during this period. For comprehensive information about the hunting zones and specific regulations, the Department of Natural Resources provides updated details on their website.
