The duck season in Minnesota for 2025 begins with the Early Teal Season from September 6 to September 10. The Youth Waterfowl Weekend is from September 13 to 14. The regular duck season then opens on September 27 and varies by zone:
- North Zone: September 27 to November 25, 2025

- South Zone: September 27 to October 5, 2025, then October 18 to December 7, 2025
This split-season structure helps align hunting with migration patterns and conservation efforts.
