Anyone know roughly when they release the dates of the upcoming season? Just looking to book time off now so I don't get screwed for the opener :)

Usually the last Saturday in September for the duck opener in the south.
Reg's usally come out in August.
The dates for 2014 fall the same as 2013's dates
Aaron's right - the new regs are available Aug 1st with your Migratory Bird License and online slightly sooner than that.Quote:

Example - regular goose season
James Bay District September 1st EVERY year
Southern District For a period of 106 days beginning on the last Saturday in September
(where Sunday gun hunting is permitted)
Early goose Southern ON is for a period of 11 days begining on the first Thursday after Labour Day.
(pay attention to the footnotes regarding Sunday hunting and if Labour Day falls on Sep 1 or 2 etc.)
Save this link - you'll be able to figure out every year when opener is being held for your area - until they change it..............lol.
sounds good thanks for the replies
Andy - I seem to be missing the affect when labour day falls on Sept 1 (as it does this year). Early goose still the thursday after labour day?Quote:

Thanks for the clarification, I volunteer to work the Labour Day weekend so that I may take the Thursday and Friday off, after I saw you post to pay attention I became concerned. All is good now!
