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

When Northwest Missouri peaks

DuckCast’s season model puts the mallard peak here around late November. Northwest Missouri carries its own season curve rather than sharing Missouri'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 Missouri Department of Conservation.

What DuckCast watches upstream of Northwest Missouri

4 upstream stations feed this region's freeze line: Riverton, Missouri Valley, Carroll, Ruthven. When those stations ice over, the score here starts climbing before anything changes in the local sky.

Locations stay generalized

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