DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware wildlife officials will again allow hunters to pursue snow geese due to the high population.

WXDE-FM reports (https://bit.ly/2kz2BRw) that the DNREC’s Division of Fish & Wildlife is implementing a federal Snow Goose Conservation Order, beginning Monday. People will be able to hunt snow geese every day except Sunday, with no daily bag or possession limits.

It will remain in effect through Friday and then reopen Feb. 13 and run through April 7.



The order was first issued in 2009. It is continuing to help reduce and stabilize the snow geese population, which officials say is causing extensive damage to wetlands and agricultural areas in Delmarva.
