Resident Goose Seasons

[tucker301]

VA's resident Canada Goose season begins September 1st!
Who else gets to shoot these big fat locals in their states?

[jimbop]

First season for me. I'll be there!

Looks like it's already opened in PA (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/search/s_360570.html)

The conservation dept. is a little slow this year, or at least slow in getting information to their website. Missouri usually has an early Canada Goose season in mid-September but I have not found any information yet.

They have not even posted anything about the early teal season neither. Boy are they SLOWWWW

Hey Beman,

They're posted just not readily accessible.

If you go to the home page and click on hunting and trapping at the top it will give you an option for Missouri Game birds. If you follow that and select the "seasons page" it will take you right to it.

Sept 10th to Sept 18th.

I would give you a link but the page never changes from missouriconservation.com. :confused:

Good Hunting

What part of MO are you from?

Im from the SEMO area were u have to travel north to teal hunt, and have to wait almost till middle of December for some great duck hunting.

What part u from Webfoot?

[Webfoot]

I live in Nevada, about 90 mile south of KC. Quite a change from Columbia, but good duck hunting none the less.

Sept. 1-15 in Ohio (except for select, non-priviledged areas). 3 birds / day baby! Die, you golf course holagans!

Opening September 1st here in Maryland with an 8 bird/day limit. I can handle that!

[aarpman]

WI opens on Sept 1st and ends on the 15th, then the exterior zone opens but the daily bag limit goes down, then duck season opens on the 24th.
Hope it cools down soon here.

NC resident season opened on Sept 1and a buddy and I both got our limit. We set up in a cut corn field near a friends dairy farm on Saturday the 3rd and we later on limited out on doves in the afternooen. A good day

VA started 9-1, but the drought has turned fields into dustbowls and the heat has been too much for me to think about stepping into a water blind in the early morning blackness.
I'm afraid I won't be there alone.

Our first outing this year was Saturday AM.
We have two blinds in an old fish hatchery. We decided to set up in the lower blind.
Shortly after legal shooting, about 150 Canadas starting getting up from the area of our upper blind, hooked over the adjoining woodline, and were gone :mad:

We went back Saturday evening, expecting them to return to their roosting spot.
Nothing.

I guess a bit more scouting is in order :(

Didn't see any snakes, but there were plenty of wasps in the upper blind.
WD-40 is a lousy gun oil, but it makes a great wasp spray!

Idaho Fish and Game have an excellent website. Easy to use, easy to find what you are looking for, informative. But man, they are s-l-o-w to get their regs up to date.

I believe waterfowl opens up in October for us, and here it is the 11th of September and they "still" don't have the 2005 waterfowl regs posted.

In our flyaway zone, dark geese opens on the 2nd of October. I wish it opened in September. However, the well-supported rumor is that CO left the season for light geese open until the end of April this year (unlimited bag limit also).
