The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife has opened registration for sportsmen and sportswomen to participate in the snow goose Conservation Order (CO). The CO will be held from March 11 – April 18, 2009.
A Conservation Order is a special management action authorized by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act that is needed to control certain wildlife populations when traditional management programs are unsuccessful in preventing overabundance of that population. The CO allows for an extended time period outside of traditional hunting seasons, as well as additional methods, for taking snow geese without bag limits. This action is granted under the authority of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
