Michigan's North Zone for waterfowl (duck, coot, moorhen and goose) hunting includes all of the Upper Peninsula (see map below). The Middle Zone consists of the north half of the Lower Peninsula. The remainder of the Lower Peninsula is called the South Zone. Note: The late Canada goose season takes place only in the South Zone.

The exact dividing line between the Middle and South Zones is described as follows: a line beginning at the Wisconsin border in Lake Michigan due west of the mouth of Stony Creek in Oceana County; then due east to, and easterly and southerly along the south shore of Stony Creek to Scenic Drive, easterly and southerly along Scenic Drive to Stony Lake Road, easterly along Stony Lake and Garfield Roads to Michigan Highway 20, east along Michigan 20 to U.S. Highway 10 Business Route (BR) in the city of Midland, east along U.S. 10 BR to U.S. 10, east along U.S. 10 to Interstate Highway 75/U.S. Highway 23, north along I-75/U.S. 23 to the U.S. 23 exit at Standish, east along U.S. 23 to the centerline of the AuGres River, then southerly along the centerline of the AuGres River to Saginaw Bay, then on a line directly east 10 miles into Saginaw Bay, and from that point on a line directly northeast to the Canada border.

Below is the map with waterfowl (duck, coot, moorhen and goose) hunting zones and all four of Michigan's waterfowling time zones. If hunting in Gogebic, Iron, Dickinson or Menominee counties that are on Central Time, you must adjust the listed times to Central Time.

Add the minutes indicated below to the times listed in Zone A table below for the correct shooting and hawking hours in Zones B, C and D.
