Seven Different Species of Canada Geese - the Good and Bad News

In our zone, we have seven different species of Canada geese - Vancouver, Western, Lesser Canada Goose, Greater White-Fronted goose, Taverner, Dusky and Cackling. That’s the good news. But all these geese are the same color. The geese vary in size, bill length and chest color. The bad news is that you cannot shoot the Dusky Canada goose, since it’s protected in Oregon.

Western River Duck Hunting with ProStaffer Mario Friendy

Often, we’ll hunt ducks on the Columbia River here in Oregon and several other smaller rivers. In many areas, hunters put out big spreads, when they're hunting major river systems. However, we put out small spreads here in the West to be much more mobile. We’ll put out our decoys and take them in or move them, if the ducks aren’t decoying into our spread. We only put out 12 to 18 decoys when we’re

Secrets for Taking Pintails, Widgeons and Teal in the Late Season

When we’re not hunting mallards specifically, instead of putting out small decoy spreads, we’ll put out really-large decoy spreads - usually six dozen decoys or even 400 decoys when we’re hunting with a duck club. We place the decoys indiscriminately, but we leave a landing spot where we want the ducks to come to, so we can get our shots.
