Snow Goose Hunting
The spring snow goose season lasts approximately 5-8 weeks, and the fall season lasts 10 weeks. Due to large populations, snow geese have been destroying tundra regions, so a harvest is desirable to keep their numbers in check. The state permits large bag limits, with unlimited possession. If you wish to hunt snow geese, you’ll need to be flexible with your travel plans, as we’re never sure when their migration will take place. It’s worth the wait, however. We typically see flocks in the thousands or even tens of thousands. Non–residents who wish to hunt in the fall must apply for a fall waterfowl license, which is awarded on a lottery system.  Season typically runs from March 1st through April 15th.

Fall Waterfowl Hunting
During the fall, we hunt ducks, snow geese, Canada geese, and ducks. You’ll be amazed at the incredible variety of ducks, including mallards, redheads, pintails, Canada specks, gadwalls, scaups (also known as bluebills), blue–wing teals, and green–wing teals.
