8 Day Hunting Festival

GooseFest has something for everyone!!

Held during the latter part of October, what is better than a day of goose hunting? How about eight days of goose hunting during Kenmare, North Dakota's GooseFest, an annual hunting festival which falls during the peak migration of snow geese?

Kenmare lies along the Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge and is also situated between the Upper Souris Refuge and the Lostwood Refuge. Each year, the three refuges are hosts to over 400,000 snow geese for several weeks during the fall migration.

Each fall the Kenmare area becomes the center of a true hunter's paradise. Besides the snow geese, hunters will find abundant populations of Canada geese, mallard ducks, Hungarian partridge, sharptail grouse, and ringneck pheasant. After bagging a limit of geese, the avid hunter can spend the afternoon flushing upland game.

I am definitely not a hunter. My brother was an excellent hunter. Self-taught. Bow-hunter: big game as well as fishing with a bow. I hunted occasionally with my dad, and then again went hunting with one of the closest friends I ever had while in the US Air Force, stationed at Grand Forks AFB. Some incredible memories. Wild duck may just be some of the best eating ever.
