Any ideas for geese hunting locations?

Hi guys, I'm quite new to geese hunting and wondering if you are willing to tip me on some good places around Twin Cities. I have no dog, no boat. I promise to keep it in secret and will bring only one dude with me ))))

Golf courses if you can get permission from the management are the best you can get aroind the metro. beyond that, you just need to drive, scout, and knock doors until you get permission.

Find a feed in the evening, and they will 99% of the time they will be back in the exact same spot about an hour after sunrise the following morning. If you can't get permission on the feed, follow them back to their roost pond, and try and get a field in between the roost and feed, and call in traffic. Avoid shooting them on the roost ponds, or they will be gone, and not return.

Most city parks with ponds seem to have an abundant goose population

Do you mean outside metro area? I thought it's illegal to shoot within city limits, even on private property, even with owner's permission, no? Any particular place that you know for sure is legal to shoot ? Thank you!!!

The metro area does not end at the 694/494 loop.

But for the most part, expect to drive an hour from the downtown to find any place you can hunt. There are exceptions to this, but its a decent rule of thumb. For your best results on migrating geese head west and start at about Willmar, and you catch lots of migrators.

Or if you don't mind the drive come down to Silver Lake Park in Rochester with some day old bread and lead them right into your back seat....

Bush Lake in Bloomington. You don't even need a gun.

To the last two posts - no, thanks, I meant hunting.

It's hunting however you want to look at it. They're wild animals, in the wild. If you need complexities feel free to knock yourself out.

Any thoughts on Fergus Falls area ?

I'm not a hunter, can you put out food for geese in a field? I know you can't for deer.
