Hunters out there...

[Spinalguy]

Hey guys/gals,
Anyone know about snow goose hunting?
School me as i have an American that wants to come up here and do that. He is the retired cop that i bought my jeep from. Very nice guy.
Help me out with how one actually accomplished goose hunting.
Thanks

[Hi Lo Silver]

Was he grinning when he asked? Retired folks from here migrating to the south for the winter are referred to as Snow Geese down there. (due to hair color)

http://www.albertaregulations.ca/huntingregs/   give him the bag limit page for birds on that link and he'll be able to find out about US folks hunting up here.

He would be classed as a non resident alien in the regulations.

guess he didn't kill enough people during his career huh.  makes me sad.  tell him to buy a jeep and enjoy the beauty of the wilderness instead of killing it.

[Hi Lo Silver]

Are those the words of a true vegetarian? There are those that also beleive carrots feel pain too. Hunting isn't just about a kill. At least not for me. It's also about getting out even more than the average person to enjoy the back country, and seeing things most people might not.

Nice Al. i guess that slaughtered cow you are eating or the murdered birds that make your chicken wings don't count as they came from the supermarket 

Anyways,
Thanks Gun. i read through the non resident alien stuff but i do not see geese listed? or are they considered waterfowl?
Do you know anyone that hunts geese (if permissible)?

[Hi Lo Silver]

You most likely saw that last link tinkerer posted. Go down far enough and they even give a discription of a Snow Goose compared to a Swan. A little further down that link and you'll see a 20/day, 60 possession limit for Snow Goose.

I'm not a bird hunter but I think the season is closed. Honestly not sure though.

You might get some information from Kirk but he may just be upland game birds.  Other than that I don't know of any specific goose hunters.
