Title: Goose test for area 2 study questions
Post by: dirtyseacapt on January 18, 2019, 04:11:01 PM: Is it worth the hastle of taking the online test? Or is the paper test better? How detailed is the test? Obviously you cant shoot Dusky geese or swans. Are dusky the only goose you cant shoot in area 2? I cant seem to find anything else on the other goose species. I downloaded the Or state waterfowl book for ID purposes can somebody recommend any other Publications that might be helpful with me passing my Goose test and broaden my knowledge? I reckon I just want to know what to expect.

Thanks everyone

Take good notes on what distinguishes the different species to include types of habitat and take the test. The photos used on the online test are just as bad as the videos. I can almost guarantee your find yourself asking, hell if i know. If you are not sure call it a dusky. I missed two questions, one of which I am sure wasn't covered in the material. One aspect that caught me off guard was the time it took me to complete the test. Longer than expected. Both my buddies who kinda watched the video but did not take notes fail miserably. Just my two cents.

Lots of the fine details on the questions and things you wouldn’t think you’d need to know. But I’d still recommend taking it online. Good luck

There are some good training materials on YouTube .
