Which statement about waterfowl hunting regulations in Ohio is incorrect?

The statement indicating that hunters can use shotguns that hold more than three shells is incorrect based on waterfowl hunting regulations. The regulation specifies that hunters must use shotguns that can only hold a maximum of three shells, which includes one in the chamber and two in the magazine. This limitation is in place to promote fair chase and prevent over-harvesting of waterfowl, ensuring sustainable populations and a balanced ecosystem.

The other statements reflect accurate regulations. Both the Federal Duck Stamp and the Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamp are mandatory for hunters, as these help fund the conservation of wetland habitats that support waterfowl. The requirement to keep a fully feathered wing or head on the bird during transport helps identify the species and ensures compliance with hunting regulations. Lastly, the prohibition of hunting from a watercraft with a running outboard motor is intended to reduce noise disturbance and maintain a level of stealth while hunting waterfowl, promoting a more ethical hunting environment.
