Nebraska Goose Season Opens Across Eastern Nebraska in New Shooting
Waterfowlers begin Nebraska's 75 day goose season one half hour before sunrise on Saturday October 2. Early hunting concentrates in eastern counties along the Missouri River with blues and snows migrating south. Western Nebraska waits until November for prime Canadas while Box Butte sees small blues and snows. Regulations mirror last year with Keith County limiting Canada later after December 1. A Sand Hills cutoff restricts Canadas and white fronts. Bag and possession limits: five third total, with up to one Ross' goose and Canadas or white fronts in most areas.
