MN waterfowl bag limit

[crawler harness]

I was flipping through the waterfowl supplement and found myself asking this question. It has to do with mergansers counted in with your daily 6 or not. Referring to pg 20, the duck bag limit is 6 daily (4 mallard, 2 reds, 2 scaups, 2 wood, 2 pin, 1 black, and 1 can). Then 2 lines down it has a merganser limit: daily limit of 5, with no more than 2 can be hooded. So technically can I shoot up to 11 ducks a day? 4 drake mallards, 2 wood ducks and then 5 common mergansers. I always thought that mergansers counted in on your daily limit of 6, has it always been this way or when did it change to a seperate limit? Thanks for the input

Yes, I know it has been this way for at least 4 years I can remember of.

nope you can only shoot 6 ducks... mergansers are not ducks.
