Minnesota's 19th annual Youth Waterfowl Day is Saturday. Its purpose is to give kids a taste of waterfowling, with the hope that some will take up the sport. An estimated 5,000 youngsters usually participate.
Waterfowl hunters ages 15 and under may take regular-season bag limits when accompanied by an adult, age 18 or older. The accompanying adult can't hunt that day and does not need a license.
Hunting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to 4 p.m. Motorized decoy restrictions are in effect. Five geese may be taken statewide.
