Wisconsin Gose Goose Quota Up Ten Percent This Fall
Wisconsin hunters will face a 10 percent increase in the Canada goose limit, to 49 620 from 45 000, driven by crop damage in Horicon Marsh. The plan disperses the extra birds across zones with 2 500 from Horicon and Central tags and 2 120 from other areas, with committees endorsing a 40 day duck season and a split in the south. Public hearings set for Aug 18 19 as the state board reviews the regulations framework.
