Migratory Bird Hunting; Hunting Methods for Resident Canada Geese

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or ``we'') proposes to amend the regulations on resident Canada goose management. This proposed rule clarifies the requirements for use of expanded hunting methods during special September hunting seasons. One requirement in the regulations has been misinterpreted, and we are taking this action to make sure that our regulations are clear for the States and the public.
