Geese management yields large roosts at Roseau area
Leon L. Johnson reports that by the early 1970s Roseau River Wildlife Management Area hosts about 70 pairs of giant Canada geese with roughly 14 000 Canada geese and 1 000 blue and snow geese observed on October 1 1973. First day hunters average seven geese, with about 900 geese taken in the first hunting week, marking a twofold success: resident flocks and a major stopping place. Similar progress is noted at Thief Lake Lac qui Park and Agassiz Refuge, driven by mid-1950s introduction of managed pairs from Grandy Minnesota and Jamestown North Dakota.
