Pine Belt Duck Migration Forecast

Beaver ponds, creek bottoms and a few lakes through the longleaf country. Thin water, and honest about it.

Season dates: Mississippi duck season 2026-27, dates and migration timing

When Pine Belt peaks

DuckCast’s season model puts the green-winged teal peak here around early January. Pine Belt carries its own season curve rather than sharing Mississippi's statewide one, because the timing here genuinely differs from the rest of the state. That is a modelled typical curve, not a prediction for any single year. The actual push depends on cold fronts and freeze-up upstream, which is what the daily score tracks. Always confirm season dates with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.

What DuckCast watches upstream of Pine Belt

2 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line: Bolivar, Paris. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.

Locations stay generalized

Hunter reports for Pine Belt are always shown at the region level. DuckCast never collects or displays exact coordinates, so filing a report here never burns a spot.
