At last, Michigan's Natural Resources Commission has simplified the hunting zones for geese.
Now, just like ducks, the goose zones are simply north, middle and south. Easy enough.
North is the Upper Peninsula. Middle is the northern Lower Peninsula. South is pretty self-explanatory. The dividing line between Middle and South zones roughly runs through Midland, but check the DNR's Web site for the exact location and other ducky details.
Here are the seasons:
Ducks
North zone: Oct. 4-Dec. 2
Middle zone: Oct. 4-Nov. 30 and Dec. 6-7
South zone: Oct. 11-Dec. 7 and Jan. 3-4
Geese
North zone: Sept. 22-Nov. 5
Middle zone: Oct. 4-Nov. 10 and Nov. 27-Dec. 3
South zone: Oct. 11-Nov. 13 and Nov, 27-Dec. 7
Late goose season is Jan. 3- Feb. 1 in the south zone.
One other thing: There will be no canvasback hunting this year.
