Significant Details About Hunting Canadian Goose

By Robert Ford


You can get guided goose hunting in Canada through field trips, over water shooting, shore blinds and the usual blinds located in known flyways.

The blinds are of high standards and their structures and designs enable maximum comfort, easy shooting and safety. Actually, many of these blinds have heaters that enable people to evade the cold enabling them to hunt even during the winter.

The benefit of guided Canada goose hunting is that you can enjoy hunting on private farms where the concentration of geese and waterfowl is very high and they travel from the marshes and river to surrounding grain fields. There are a variety of ducks, goose and waterfowl that flock the North Eastern seaboard of Canada and North America. Perhaps this region hosts the largest variety of migratory birds including but not restricted to Giant Canadas, Old Squaw, Bluebills, Gadwall, Blacks and Woody's.

The observed behavior of waterfowl seeking to obtain their food from fields of grain such as those of soybean, wheat and corn among other grains is the major reason why shooting them on private farms is appropriate. You can get the guidance of experienced hunting guides who will lead you to excellent shooting grounds on the shore.

When hunting geese, it is important to possess the correct shells and ammunition including number one shells and a 12 gauge shotgun. You should also have the right sort of camouflage clothes and they are normally a brown or dull green coat and a cap.

It's also advisable to have waterproof boots which are of good quality and can withstand long wear while providing comfort. Of course do not forget your camera to take shots of the beautiful duck, geese and other waterfowl flying in formation in huge numbers in the hunting area.

The fact that you need to have a license to hunt for geese in Canada is obvious. There are many types of licenses such as the special three-day license for nonresidents, the non-resident seasonal hunting license; the Federal wildfowl stamp all hunter license and the hip permit that is free with all other types of licenses. Often, you will be able to get the licenses and stamps from the stores that sell sporting goods around the hunting area.

Normally, October is the month when the hunting season starts and flocks of waterfowl including geese and ducks stay in these hunting locations during the whole winter season. The hunting season is long and it improves from the first week of September. Reputable outfitters offer hunters guided or partially guided hunting trips. You should also consider getting the decoys supplied by the outfitters or purchase your own if you would like.

Decoys that have perfect designs can attract all Greater Canada geese including those that are familiar with distinguishing between a decoy and a regular flock for a number of years. With the population of waterfowl, goose and duck that appears to be always increasing yearly, all hunters even those with limited experience have the privilege of testing their ability to hunt these beautiful birds. Hunters also get the benefit of having a large number of birds available for hunting.
