Have you ever wondered how many resident or migrant Canada geese are in the hunting season harvest.  Band recoveries are weighted using estimated population size and the number of adult geese banded per  population.

Note that states like PA, NY, NJ and a few northern AF states where Atlantic Population (AP) goose bag limits are larger (3 per day) harvest far fewer migrant geese than MD (2 per day). These states are permitted larger bag limits to target AF resident Canada geese.
