Thread: Canadian Geese on public land

out of respect for duck hunters wanting semi rested up quiet ducks not jumping out of thier feathers cos of trigger happy goose hunters.
but i could join a mate on a dairy farm not that far from the lake for some if so inclined.
we wouldnt be upsetting anyone mostly and after all if we were it would be his pozzy anyway we were scarein up.
green grassy river flats and/or saved grass would be a go again staying away from any tagged ponds.
f and g dont care about geese anymore but you never know they might be helpful.

Thanks for the advice, i am all about etiquette and don't want to annoy anyone planning for opening day so i might try find a place to smack a few clays with the wife (away from maimais etc)

You mention grassy green river flats, I'm trying to figure out who owns these rivers and or flats? as a young fella i assumed rivers were crown land(we spent days chasing trout 10-15 years ago) but apparently this may not be the case so would appreciate any guidance on who owns what, so i can as for permission and or obtain a permit from the right person/s or place

cheers again
