Hunters can help reduce the population of light geese through a federally authorized spring conservation harvest running from Feb. 18 through April 30.
Light geese are snow geese, blue-phased snow geese and the smaller Ross’s goose. Permits go on sale Tuesday, Feb. 14, and harvest regulations can be found on the DNR website (mndnr.gov/Hunting/Waterfowl/LightGoose). The conservation action aims to reduce damage from these geese to fragile ecosystems in Arctic coastal areas and around Hudson Bay.
