Alberta has long been a waterfowl hunter’s paradise–relatively generous limits, earlier seasons, big skies and incredible species diversity. But it doesn’t happen by accident.

EP 595. Grandad’s Mississippi Delta “Goose Camp”
Unearthing among my grandfather’s belongings a small folder of brittle mimeographed budgets dated throughout the 1940s and succinctly entitled “Goose Camp” opened a window into stories I grew up hearing around the supper table, and shed light onto an almost forgotten chapter of American waterfowling history. Details were sparse but extremely telling. To help bring those pages to life, I met with Bill Johnson at the Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Museum where together we traced the rise and abrupt disappearance of the Mississippi Delta goose camps in the late 1950s. If you’ve ever wondered about Deep South Canada goose hunting culture–or what those WW2-era goose hunters were really like–you’ll appreciate this special, hit-close-home episode.
