- "The Canada goose is a large goose species and is one of the most popular geese to hunt in Europe. Their distinct white "chinstrap" helps distinguish the Canada goose from other geese. Adaptable and widespread, they occupy an extensive range of habitats including tundra, prairie lands, and mountainous fields. Canada geese are monogamous with lifelong pairs formed early in their lives. For many regions, loud calls from migrating Canada geese flying in V-shaped formation signal the change into spring and autumn."

Tips[]
In TheHunter: Call of The Wild, hunting Canada Goose is similar to hunting other waterfowl; the added benefit being that one can hunt them in open fields. Both Hirschfelden and Revontuli Coast are ideal maps for hunting these birds. The Hirschfelden reserve is by far the best map to hunt them on because of its large open fields in which most of their need zones appear.
