Brant Goose Numbers Fall Prompts Hunting Ban Expectation
Washington reports Brant geese are so scarce on the east coast that Assistant Secretary of the Interior Nathaniel Reed expects the hunting season to be closed for at least two more years. Population has fallen from about 200,000 in the late 1960s to roughly 40,000, the lowest in 25 years, blamed on poor nesting seasons in the Canadian Arctic.
