The Nitty Gritty: Numbers Don't Lie (But They Can Change)
Alright, alright, let's get down to brass tacks. The number of geese you can bag in Oklahoma depends on a few key factors:
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
The Goose in Question: Not all geese are created equal, especially in the eyes of the law. Canada geese, for example, fall under the "dark geese" category with a daily bag limit of eight. White-fronted geese are a bit more precious, with a daily bag limit of just two.

Remember: A true hunter respects the balance of nature.
