The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (Act) allows the Secretary of Interior to permit the take (including hunting) of migratory birds if the Secretary determines the status of the birds is sufficient to allow such take. Importantly, the hunting season on game birds will remain closed until the Secretary determines that status of game bird species is sufficient to allow hunting.

Thus, the Service promulgates regulations each year that allow the hunting of certain species of migratory game birds. The regulations are based on information from monitoring programs conducted during various times of the year to determine the birds’ status.
