NORTHEAST GOOSE ZONE
The Northeast Goose Zone consists of Bath, Menifee, Morgan and Rowan counties. However, no goose hunting is permitted on the block of land within the boundaries of SRs 801, 1274, 36, 211, 60, and 826, which basically encompasses Cave Run Lake. This refuge area, along with the most restrictive season dates of any goose zone, was established to protect the resident flock that has developed around the lake.

Though the lake serves as their resting and roosting area, the geese must travel to and from the lake in order to feed, presenting hunters with an opportunity to intercept birds outside of the refuge area.

Hunting in the Northeast Goose Zone requires a mandatory free permit, which can be obtained from the KDFWR by calling 1-800-858-1549 weekdays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST.

The season typically runs for a week after Christmas and the last week of January. Shooting hours are from half an hour before sunrise until 2 p.m.

Times are changing for Bluegrass State goose hunters. It no longer requires a trip to Ballard or Henderson counties to put a Canada goose on the table for Christmas dinner. It doesn't even have to snow in Illinois!

Local giant Canada geese can be found across the state using just about any decent-sized body of water.

If that body of water is close by to some agricultural fields, you have the potential for some great wingshooting action this winter.

The nine-member KDFWR Commission sets Kentucky's goose-hunting season dates and bag limits, which in turn are based on the framework set forth by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Regulations for WMAs often differ from those statewide, so be sure and pick up a copy of the 2007-2008 Kentucky Waterfowl Hunting Guide to check the dates and regulations for the area you're interested in.

The guide is available from local license vendors, or can be found online at www.fw.ky.gov.

While in the field, all Kentucky waterfowl hunters are required to carry a hunting license, federal duck stamp and state waterfowl permit.
