My First Snow Goose In Canada

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

snow goose Canada 150x150 My First Snow Goose In Canada Shooting a snow goose in Canada at least in my area (Ontario Canada) is not too common.  The first reason they are hard to get anywhere in the center of North America is the fact they are mainly found in the far north of the timberline in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and the northeastern tip of Siberia, and in warm parts of North America from southwestern British Columbia through parts of the United States to Mexico during the cold hard winter months. I know guys that hunt snow geese in Quebec, Canada  but never in Southern Ontario. I know that the population of the snow goose in Canada was very low back in the 70′s and after my kill I checked them out online and now see that Snow Geese exceeds 5 million birds, an increase of more than 300 percent since the mid-1970s.

As you can see by the map they don’t usually make it over this far into Canada as they pass through Quebec on their way flying south for the winter.snow goose area 150x150 My First Snow Goose In Canada

With all my Canada goose decoys set up facing the wind in a U pattern I was ready for action. I was using a new caller called the Paralyzer Goose Call My First Snow Goose In Canada and around 4:15pm from right over the trees came 6 snow geese. Wow what a sight! I wasn’t really sure if I should shoot or not. They flew right into my decoys without a second guess and looked like they were gonna land first time round. I couldn’t resist so I opened up and seen two fall to ground. I have to admit this was very exciting for me as this was my first snow goose in Canada or anywhere and now that I have them I don’t really want to eat them so may have them both stuffed so I can show them off. On a side note that same day I had the best day for Canada geese then I ever had hunting in years.

I hope to see more snow geese in my area in the coming years so that my children may be able to enjoy goose hunting as much as me.
