im in southern Ontario and want to get a goose they are open for one week.have liscence just need location.not looking for "try near here or try near there or try asking at" im looking for someone who is doing this and has a place already.
I can wander the side roads without help just wish I could find someone with both experience to learn from and a place that works
Go north of Kitchener and look for side roads that have rivers. The geese congregate around the rivers.
I don't know any geese hunters, but I am from that region and know they are plentiful there.
are you trying to nail one with a bow? props on ya if you are im not sure if this is the best time of year for geese though. though I wouldn't mind trying it in the fall
Yes with a bow and im a complete newb learned my first hunting lesson yesterday canada geese aren't all like the ones I saw in parks when I was a kid thoose ones were used to people and didn't spook .geese in a farm field spook easy!!!!! CAME CLOSE TO BAGGING ONE but went home empty handed :(Quote:

Few years ago there was a goose hanging out at a park in Kitchener with an arrow through it. If that happens, it doesn't put hunters in a very good light with regards to public relations and perceptions on who or what kind of people hunters are. Though it is your choice, and I am not going to condemn or encourage you to hunt waterfowl with a bow, it is something to consider.
This type of case does come up in the news once and awhile. When the person is found that shot the goose/duck( or other animal), and the arrow head used is looked at, there is two things is common. The shooter was NOT a hunter, and the arrow point was a target point not the right type to use for hunting.Quote:

If you look at a picture of a standing goose and draw a line from the base of it's neck to it's leg you will see a spot just under the wing and behind the shoulder. This spot is where the heart and lungs will be. Use broad heads with two blades, or smaller three blade ones back by a collar to add blunt force to the impact.
DO NOT use a blunt, a field point with a collar, or the G5 SGH. They will not penetrate enough of cause enough bleeding for a quick kill.
These are the collar that I have use with success.
