We were able to accomodate more hunters and harvested more ducks this year even with the early freeze up. The area has been completely frozen over since December 11 and there are no ducks or geese left on the refuge. No one has hunted the area since December 15th. Goose hunting will be permitted on the area through a self check in procedure. Goose hunting is only permitted on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays.
More information is posted at the area office.
Hunters need to register at the office. Hunters don't need to hunt out of blinds, but can not hunt in refuse or in managegment zones. 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.
