This season is designed to increase harvest and allow hunters to help reduce the population of mid-continent light geese (snow, blue & Ross’). All other waterfowl regulations apply, including use of federally-approved nontoxic shot. All participants are required to have in their possession while hunting all necessary licenses, waterfowl stamps and a Harvest Information Program (HIP) permit.
In order to estimate the harvest of light geese during COLGS, we need hunters to register for the hunt on the Internet by going to: wildlifedepartment.com or by sending their name, address and telephone number to:
