They are in the cackling goose family about 4-6 lbs they look like a small Canada except they have a white ring around their necks
They were on the endangered species list beginning in 1967 if I recall correctly but the eradication of a non indigenous fox that was introduced by Russian trappers to the Aleutian Islands allowed an unbelievable come back and now the limit is ten per day.
Just an example of what predator control can do to help waterfowl.
They work like snow geese in large numbers , we have had as many as 1-3 thousand over us at one time.
Our fields are oats and wheat so we do not hunt them until they turn to green feeding patterns.
