Spring Light Goose Season Set

PIERRE, S.D. –Sportsmen will once again get the opportunity to hunt light geese in South Dakota this spring.

The South Dakota light goose conservation order will run from February 14 through May 3, 2009, will be open state-wide and will allow hunters a daily limit of 20 geese with no possession limit.

A “conservation order” differs from a regular hunting season because it is intended to be a more direct approach to control of a wildlife population with some liberal restrictions. Snow geese numbers are high and the birds are damaging lands they nest on in Canada.

Hunters will be able to use electronic calls and shotguns capable of holding more than three shells.

The light goose season includes snow, blue and Ross’ geese.
