Where Alabama's Ducks Come From

The Prairie Pothole Region is critical to Alabama waterfowl hunters.

The vast majority of Alabama’s annual duck harvest migrates to us from the Prairie Pothole Region, also referred to as “the duck factory”. In addition, we receive a significant number of mallards from the Great Lakes region every fall and winter.

The Prairie Pothole Region is DU’s #1 conservation focus area. The organization also has an aggressive waterfowl habitat conservation program in the Great Lakes Region. In addition Alabama benefits from DU’s Southeastern Coastal Plain conservation work as the organization continues to conserve critical waterfowl habitat in the Yellowhammer State.

There is no waterfowl conservation organization that represents the needs of Alabama waterfowl hunters like Ducks Unlimited.

Our vital conservation work provides support to our migration both on the breeding grounds and here at home.

With your help, we will preserve our waterfowl hunting heritage through habitat conservation of these areas vital to the Alabama migration and harvest.
