In Eastern Canada- How late in the season can someone hunt ducks & geese productively? Where does that leave us calendar wise?
 
I hunt Northern Lake Huron until mid-December... years ago I hunted New Years eve, and got a limit of divers... but it was sloooooowwww...
 
I have killed my limit on the last day more than a few times, like BUM says depends how much time you put into it and if things turn cold or not. Also like Coach Zed said, here in NB we have two zones, where I live things will be done December 18, on the coast near him we have another few weeks after that and then a later Seaduck season for Eiders, Scotters, Longtail ducks and Mergansers. I hear chasing them can be an exceptionally good time but have never met up with anyone interested having me join them for a shoot, although the Bay of Fundy in January/February can be a dangerous mistress.
 
Ahhhhh one of those fairweather waterfowlers?!! It's ok I am getting that age too!! :p

Besides who hunts Snows on water? You'd need a house sized barge to transport a large enough floater spread!! :eek:

Pfffft....... spread....... they roost here by the thousands...... I usually tow in a canoe the day before and leave it stashed in the woods, then sneak in before first light....... when the first group takes off and the first shot gets taken, that's when the madness begins!
 
I havr hunted new years day with good success.

Really depends on the weather. Some of my best duck hunts have been the last day of the season (early January) other years you are lucky to find anything worth hunting early December...very dependent on the weather.

Tie those white pricks up until I can get my white rig in order Brad!
