A state conservation officer says there should be plenty of ducks around for this year's waterfowl hunting season.

State Game, Fish and Parks Department officials are confident that wetter-than-usual conditions have resulted in a stronger duck population in the state.

Chamberlain-based conservation officer Mark Ohm says the early season should be fairly good.

The season began Sept. 26 in most of eastern South Dakota and runs though Dec. 8. The season begins Oct. 10 in western South Dakota and lasts through Jan. 14.

Hunters in the extreme southern and southeastern portions of the state will be able to take aim at ducks from Oct. 10 to Dec. 22.
