BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota’s spring light goose hunting season is getting underway.
The season that opened Saturday continues through May 18. The spring season is only for light geese - snows, blues, and Ross’s. The season is closed to whitefronts, Canada geese, swans and all other migratory birds.
The state Game and Fish Department says the availability of food and open water dictate when snow geese arrive in North Dakota. Early migrants generally start showing up in the southeast part of the state in mid-to-late March, but huntable numbers usually aren’t around until the end of March or early April.
