Late Season Goose Hunt

February 25, 2021

Question: I noticed there’s a late season for goose hunting scheduled from Feb. 20-24. Is that open to public land hunters, or just private landowners?

Answer: You’re referring to the late goose season for white-fronted and white geese from Feb. 20-24 (five days), except in the Sacramento Valley Special Management Area where the white-fronted goose season is closed, see CDFW’s 2020-2021 Waterfowl Regulations. During this late goose season, hunting is not permitted on wildlife areas listed in California Code of Regulations, Title 14, sections 550-552, except for Type C Wildlife Areas in the North Central and Central regions.
