Yes!!!  I just past the goose ID test now I get to hunt them this year.  I live in sw Wa and now all I need to do is find where I can kill some lol.  My Son and I are so stoked to try something new this year and hope to kill a couple ducks and geese

Is this test a new thing  I never had to take one, and I have never heard of it either. Although it is a good idea because I have seen guys shoot at swans, and think that they are snow geese

It's only if you hunt in SW WA in units 2A or 2B. It's because of the ill-fated Dusky.

I think SW and NW Oregon are the only ones required to take a test like this in the nation.  It was due to natural causes and they have found that their are 7 sub species of them, so they are try to keep the duskies around despite all odds.  The are trying to get around natural selection.  When I was a kid we didn't see to many geese in the area, now they are like flies.
