What about Hunting Geese?

Our flyway goose season is set-up to run concurrent with our duck season and usually ends the around the 24th of January. Most of the Canada geese we have in Kentucky are resident geese. For the most part, the Canada goose migration rarely comes any further south than the middle of Illinois. For us to get any geese in Tennessee, the weather has to be really cold.

Kentucky Lake and Reelfoot Lake Have Ducks Aplenty

The big water that I hunt is Kentucky Lake, and I like hunting a 400-acre soybean field there that floods during duck season. To hunt the bean field, we use a cotton trailer as a blind. The cotton trailer is a big, open trailer that cotton is dumped into that takes cotton from the field to the cotton gins. We have our cotton trailer blind parked right alongside a river that’s one of the major

Hunting Waterfowl on the Mississippi Flyway

The early season on the Mississippi flyway in 2014 was really good for waterfowling. We had some cold weather right before Thanksgiving that brought a large number of ducks down for the opening week of waterfowl season. Quite a few hunters reported taking limits of ducks on opening weekend, but after Thanksgiving the weather stabilized, and our area has had a fairly warm winter.

How to Hunt Resident and Flyway Geese

When you're hunting on the Eastern Shore for migrating flyway Canada geese, you'll be competing with many other hunters who want to take those same geese. I believe there’s strength in numbers when hunting geese, especially when you're hunting places with high hunter pressure. So, we’ll put out big spreads of 14- to 16-dozen decoys. Our spread will include full-body decoys, windsocks and silhouettes.

Should You Hunt Resident or Flyway Geese?

Maryland goose hunting is famous all over the country. Most of the hunters who come to Maryland to hunt geese hunt the Eastern Shore. The Eastern Shore geese are the Atlantic flyway geese.

Cory Dukehart Tells about Maryland’s Resident Geese

The history of Maryland goose hunting is really strange. Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Maryland was a hot bed for goose hunting. In those early days, waterfowl hunters believed that there was an endless supply of ducks and geese coming down the flyway. They believed the birds they shot every year were replaced with more birds the next year.

Hunting Ducks and Geese of Maryland

Our duck season in Maryland starts in October, lasts about 1-1/2-weeks and then closes. It begins again in December and runs through the end of January. We shoot a lot of puddle ducks like mallards, pintails and black ducks. Black ducks are kind of special to our area up here on the Chesapeake Bay. Many waterfowlers west of Maryland don’t see numbers of black ducks, which resemble hen mallards.
