U.S. regional hunting season commencements

Overview

Various hunting and trapping seasons are commencing across several U.S. states during late August and early September 2026.

In North Dakota, the season began on August 15 with Canada goose management, with subsequent dates scheduled for dove, archery deer, pronghorn, grouse, and partridge. North Carolina has also initiated its duck hunting season, which is managed through specific zones established by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

By September 1, Ohio opened seasons for squirrel, dove, Canada goose, and teal, while also implementing new waterfowl hunting zones. In Arkansas, the Game & Fish Commission has emphasized that hunters must register with the Harvest Information Program (HIP) to hunt migratory birds, a requirement designed to assist in monitoring population trends and harvest estimates.
