Hunting dogs and goose hunting

February 25th, 2010 by Master Mind

South Dakota goose hunting has been good for years now. The first year I lived in Lake Preston, SD I was amazed at the numbers of geese and ducks flying overhead for days at at a time. Fall migration of waterfowl from Canada filled the sky with more flocks and birds than I could have ever counted. South Dakota goose hunting is great in both the fall and the spring.

SD has a spring goose hunting season for snows, blues and ross’ geese. The 2010 spring season for snow geese is from February 2010 through May 3rd and again this year the hunting is expected to be excellent. Snow goose hunting has been excellent for more than a few years now and daily limits are common.

Spring goose hunting is as good as fall but no Federal waterfowl stamp is required. It’s a special goose season to thin out some of the snow and blue geese due to their ruining their Canadian habitat from over population.

Hunting dogs are certainly the best possible ally of the hunter, as they sniff and scavenge for prey in the deepest and darkest brush of the forest. There are many different possibilities for a hunting dog type that you can take on your next trip.

The type of dog you should take on your hunting trip should be directly related to the type of hunting you are planning on. If you are planning on hunting fur-bearing animals, for example, you would be more satisfied with a hound than you would be with a terrier.

The most common main category of hunting dogs is the hound. Hounds are actually divided into two categories from there: the sighthound and the scent hound. As their names imply, each sub-category of dog type refers to a certain skill that the dog tends to be more proficient in.
