I’ve been hearing that Canada Geese are no longer protected by fish and game . That they can be hunted year round on private property.
I could not get the reply button to come up so I made a new thread.
I think you have been told wrong. The Canada goose is one of the migratory birds that is included in the treaty with Canada and Mexico that is covered by the feds. To have then NOT covered by fish and game (ie hunted all year long on privet properity) there would need to be new nagociations on the treaty and have them removed with Congress approval
I do know that there is a process that can be done to get permission to oil eggs if there is proof that they are causing damage or overpopulated in a specific area but to my knowledge there is no open season on geese any where any time.
My thought on the above statement is that someone some where was seen killing geese out of season and was ask about it and came up with the story about not protected and private ground and this has been repeated and believed to be true.
As always one needs to check the gamelaws or talk to the dnr or a co to make sure they are on the right side of the law befor acting on word of mouth information.
I could be wrong in the above statement but I have not heard,read or seen any information any where contradictory to said statement.

Onebentarrow Good information The reason you could not post on that was the question was asked in the Ask a CO forum where only the CO can reply.. and once in awhile a admin that screws up. 😉 See.. www.hunt-indiana.com/thread/61921/canada-goose |

Thanks for the reply and sorry about the screw up on my end Onebentarrow Not a problem.. I most always click on “most recent posts” and that does not say where the posts are located. I, being the admin, have replied to questions asked in the CO forum and not even realized that is where they are at. As soon as I catch it I delete my post. Like I says .. no problem |

Canada goose has transferred from Schedule 1 to Schedule 5 of the Wildlife Act. This means the species is “not protected”, allowing anyone to hunt or kill geese at any time of year.

Please explain schedule 1 to schedule 5 or post a link so I can read about it. Not saying it isant so but I would have thought the antis would have been up in the air about that and I think that would be a big deal to promote wildlife conservation seeing how few of them there were years back and with the fact they(feds)closed hunting season on parts of the east coast 2 yrs ago because the huron bay flock was in trouble it is hard to believe that there is an open season on them. Many NOT PROTECTED in the endangered Species Act means DNR'S don't have as many hoops to jump thru to solve problem bird issues. If it is true I know a couple land owners that would let me take as many as I wanted so they would not have their droppings all over their yards. Not trying to be difficult just would like links or information I can investigate Onebentarrow |

it would be news to me too. Maybe some confusion based on feds giving states more authority to manage canada geese.
I would like to see the regulation either state or federal regs. Not an opinion or article written but the legal code.
