Mottled Duck · State-by-state
Mottled Duck hunting regulations.
Mottled ducks are non-migratory dabblers found primarily on the Gulf Coast — Texas, Louisiana, and the Gulf Coast of Florida — plus a small Florida peninsula population. They look similar to female mallards and to American black ducks but stay in their range year-round rather than migrating.
Texas and Louisiana run mottled duck hunting under federal frameworks; Florida runs a small quota-controlled season. Bag limits are typically conservative (often 1 bird daily). They concentrate in coastal marsh and prairie habitats and aren't commonly encountered outside their narrow range.
