duck and goose hunting

New York duck hunting and goose hunting is king along Lake Ontario. We have seen hundreds and on occasion thousands of ducks and geese on Sandy Pond in front of our Lake Ontario cottages through out the year including duck hunting and goose hunting seasons. Duck and goose hunting from the cottage shore is reserved for our guests. There are more kinds of ducks than I can name with mallards, wood ducks, bufflehead and teal being the most common. The geese are mostly Canada geese. The geese fly out of Sandy Pond in the early AM to feed at local fields and return to Sandy Pond in the late AM. At mid afternoon the geese fly out again, one flock at a time, to return to the fields. Permission to waterfowl hunt, especially for geese, on private lands is easier to obtain then deer hunting permission. Many of the wildlife management areas, which are open to hunting and along Lake Ontario, hold a lot of local and migrating ducks and geese. There are easily accessible boat launches at some wildlife management areas (WMA,s.) Boats or canoes are a must for hunting ducks and geese along Lake Ontario. There has been a nuisance goose season for the month of September during recent years. New York duck hunting and goose hunting seasons for 2008 have not yet been set.

Retriever dogs are allowed at the cottages during duck hunting season. For details on bring your hunting dog to the Duck Blind cottage please click here. For details on bring your hunting dog to the Tight Lines cottage please click here.
