Canada Goose Season
Canada Goose Season
When does this usually begin? Is there an early season, say in Sept. or Oct.? I know there is special dates for the reservoirs, but what about in general dates?
Are we gonna get wet?

If im not mistaken resident goose season starts on September 1. Im sure about that but im not sure how long it lasts. I would assume that would be for everywhere but i dont know about that either.

Yes, the season starts September 1st.......and Yes, it's called 'resident' season because only Mississippi 'residents' are allowed to participate...... and because most of the geese in this area are 'residents', too.
And since it's a 'resident' season, you may not have any 'migrating' geese in your bag. Resident geese have holes in their feet from walking around on asphalt all day. Migrators 'honk' with a Northern accent.
Nomenclature: The proper name for these birds is 'Canadian' geese.......because they originally came from Canada a long time ago. If you call them Canada Geese, people will think you're an idiot.
You can only shoot male 'Canadian' Geese during the 'early' season because the females are still nursing their young. Males have solid black heads with NO white cheek patch.......(they get that later in the year).
You'll need to obtain permits from your local MDWF&P enforcement officer prior to hunting.......he'll tell you what the quota is for that particular county.....and issue the appropriate number of tags.
It is unlawful to shoot a goose (Reservoirs only) within 50 feet of a person operating a ski-do, ski boat, or a person being towed by either.....or within 1000' of a residence, or public building or park. So, hiding under the sliding board is no longer allowed.
Hunters may not have 'light' bread in their possession while hunting resident geese as this could be considered 'baiting'.
You can hunt geese within 1000' of a baited dove field as long as no one in the dove field shoots at the geese. If they do, YOU can be fined.
If you wear chest waders, they must have a minimum of 1500 grams of thinsulate or neoprene. (this is a new regulation to help reduce the severity of flesh wounds from hunters' encounters with alligators).
The use of any repellants containing DEET is strictly prohibited as it has been proven an effective attractant to geese. Possession of such repellants while hunting the September seasons carries a $1000 fine and forfieture of your hunting license for the next 3 years.

I hope this helps........Happy Hunting!
