A waterfowl hunting trip at Birdtail Waterfowl wouldn’t be complete without experiencing our outstanding Canada goose hunting. This opportunity is sometimes seen as an early morning “stepping stone” to an afternoon duck hunt, but these are opinions that are quickly swayed once a horde of overly enthusiastic Canada’s refuse to say no to an irresistible goose spread. Uncountable numbers of greater and lesser Canada geese swarm our hunting area every fall. From the loyal flights of giant Canada’s to the unpredictable swarms of lesser Canada sub-species, memorable dark goose encounters will naturally become a big part of your scheduled hunts throughout the season.
