“This waterfowl season includes nine Saturdays, giving goose hunters ample opportunity to spend time in the field with friends and family,” said Wildlife and Heritage Service Director Paul Peditto. “These hunts provide a great source of food and fond memories that will be shared by hunters and non-hunters alike as they enjoy Maryland’s abundant hunting opportunities.”
