Geese Wintering in Illinois Refuges Surpass Previous Year
More than 150000 Canada geese winter at southern Illinois waterfowl sanctuaries, about 7000 more than last year. Glen D. Palmer, state Director of Conservation, says the department will push conservation based shooting rules in future seasons and will discuss with U S fish and wildlife specialists in February. He notes refuge grounds were never open to hunting and explains the 1953 changes limited a private buffer zone set up in 1947. Dry fall weather pushed geese from Union County refuge toward Horseshoe Lake.
