What involvement does the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have in hunting?
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service works closely with state and provincial governments, as well as with the public, in a joint effort to establish annual hunting regulations for migratory birds. The Service’s Division of Migratory Birds establishes framework regulations to manage all migratory bird hunting in the U.S. These regulations establish limitations by which states can then create season lengths, bag limits and areas of migratory bird hunting.
