This season allows hunting opportunity on the abundant subspecies of cackling, Taverner's and western Canada geese, while protecting limited numbers of dusky Canada geese. The entire season was separated into three periods. Once the established unit period quota for dusky Canada geese has been met, the unit closes. The third period quota for Marion County was six and 17 for the entire season. The third period closes February 27 in all units.
Bag limits allow a hunter to harvest one dusky Canada goose per season.
Northwest permit goose hunters must visit a check station after each hunting day to allow officials to tally harvest. For more information, consult the 1999-2000 Oregon Game Bird Regulations.
