water regulations for early goose

[icefishing21]

Are there any water regulations for early goose season? if so what are the water regulations for early goose? like how far from water you can hunt or something like that

Thanks

get yourself a waterfowl sup. and there is a map of all the zones i know that in the metro zone you can't hunt on water or within a 100yards of it. I know they have it on the dnr HSOforum

No closer than 100 yds to water (ponds, lakes and etc) in NW, SE zones and some areas like Carlos Avery, Thief Lake and etc. But like flooded fields made by rain is ok.

Yes get a 2008 Waterfowl Regulations book for sure.

Here is the Online PDF file of the 2008 Waterfowl Regulations.

Does anybody know if the early season water restriction applies to the Sunrise Unit of Carlos Avery? I know it says in the regulations that Carlos Avery has the restriction but i've seen guys out hunting the sunrise unit before.

Thanks!
