Western Washington hosts a special late goose season in certain counties. To take part in the hunt you have to pass a test on goose identification and know the difference between the seven sub-species of Canada Geese that winter in the coastal regions of the Northwest. Of these seven species, only the Dusky Canadas are off limits. This season runs from 2-13-21 to 3-10-21, Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays only and you must be on private property. Hunting for Canadas seems to be a little better during this season because there is less hunting pressure due to the general Waterfowling season being closed. This was my first hunt of the late winter season this year. The weather fronts changed from arctic blasts to temperate rains over a weeks span and changed the patterns of the geese in the area for sure. Because of this I went into this hunt not knowing what to expect. I went out and did what I know how to do best: go hunting. Sometimes, you might just get lucky and come home with a crazy story.
