The area is open to goose hunting. All hunters must check in at the area headquarters before hunting. Hunting units are allocated through a self check-in procedure. No one can sign out a hunting unit until 4 a.m. daily. All hunting closes at 1 p.m. daily.
All refuges remain in effect.
We still have 50,000 but they are primarily using Otter Slough for roosting and feeding mainly on private land. We also have 750 white-fronts and 250 Canada Geese. Canada and white-fronted goose season ends January 31st. All hunting units have iced out. Crowd sizes have been light to moderate during the week and moderate to heavy over the weekends.
