I think you should recheck the closing dates for ducks/geese. In recent history it has closed on the last Saturday in December.

Hunting Migratory Birds in Newfoundland and Labrador (Small Game Hunting)

There are about 20 different migratory game birds found in Newfoundland and Labrador. In general, they fall into three game species: ducks, geese, and snipe. The ducks include mergansers, oldsquaw, eiders, and scoters. The snipe is the common snipe, and the geese are some of the subpopulations of Canada goose. There's a smaller than usual bag limit on the American black duck, whose population has increased since 1995, but is still on the 'concern' list. Further information on waterfowl populations and migratory bird regulations is available from the Canadian Wildlife Service website. CWS is responsible for migratory game birds in Canada. Open season dates for migratory game birds in Newfoundland run from the 3rd Saturday in September to the 2nd Saturday in December. In Labrador, the season starts a week earlier and ends either the 2nd or 3rd Saturday in December, according to the management zone. Some outfitters offer waterfowl hunting as an add-on to their main package. Detailed information is available from the Inland Fish & Wildlife Division (See Useful Contacts section in Things you need to know). Hunters are asked to return any migratory bird tags they collect by calling 800-327-2263. Non-toxic shot is mandatory for all hunting except turrs.

I was out the Burin Pen. way this past weekend and seen geese twice. Pete and myself went for a run on the bikes and heard some calling but couldn't see them. Seen lots of ducks in the ponds as well.

Saw a few more geese this year and managed to shoot a few even tho I wasn`t really set for them.
Looks like a good return this spring too.

Lots up around the upper Humber River, planning a few trips this season for sure. Boat and motor is a must in this area.

Wish I'd would have had my new semi earlier in the season.

Seen a nice lot of geese but the 2 3/4 winchester couldn't do the job. Have a new 3.5" semi now this should help.
