Try a light-goose close-out hunt

Goose hunting can be extremely productive this time of year under the Conservation Order regulations.

It’s February. You’re sick of deer hunting. Your rabbit dogs are dead tired. The woods are too wet to squirrel hunt. Turkey hunting is more than a month away. It is way too cold to fish — besides the bass boat is still in storage.

Yet there is a clawing yearn to hunt something, to get outdoors again out from under the hot air furnace, honey-do chores and real work. So what options are left? How about a goose hunt? I’ll admit right up front I am not a goose hunter. I know what a Canada looks like and a snow goose. I had no idea what the light-goose category included.

I noticed this year that Mississippi has a Light Goose Conservation Order listed on its 2009-10 hunting season cards for Feb. 1-5 and Feb. 8-March 31. Since it piqued my interest, I was sure other hunters would want to know more. So I did some research.
