Other Hunting > Waterfowl
Goose hunting smack down proposal.
bobcat:
The goose hunting I did this past season in the Chehalis area we didn't see any cacklers at all, that I can recall. It was weird. Last year and every other previous year there's always been plenty.
metlhead:
Mucho birds. They'd roll off Malone ponds en masse. Elma birds would come east to Porter area. Adna and Galvin birds hunkered. Only change I noticed was lack of early season traveling birds roosting on the Grand Mounds pits. Musta got a new spot
full choke:
The proposal also looks to reduce days and bag limits for westside units as well. Stopping the late season permit unit hunts, reduction of days, drop to 2 birds daily in permit zone, 3 birds in rest of westside.

Here on the SW corner, the USFWS has had us afraid to shoot anything larger than a cack because of duskys, a species of Canada that would've gone extinct only because of Mother nature. Now, we have a cack problem. But is it really hunter harvest that's the culprit? How about the huge and ever-increasing numbers of other migratory birds like snows (especially), sandhills, swans, and other species of Canadas. How about increasing harvest on the snows, let us kill a few sandhills and swans, and take duskys off the protected list?

They are actually reducing the snow goose limit as well.
