Hunting. . .
The goose hunting season at Kaska Goose Lodge is quite short - running from August 28th through September 20th.
Kaska Goose Lodge is located at near the tip of a pie-shaped island at the mouth of the Kaskattama River. A series of driftwood blinds have been strategically established along the east and west shores of the island as well as inland along beach ridges under the cover of willows.
There is a Bell Long Ranger turbine helicopter based at Kaska during the hunting season. The helicopter provides our hunters with increased mobility so they can move to where the geese are staging on calm, bluebird days when the geese are reluctant to fly.
The main species of geese hunter will find at Kaska are greater and lesser snow geese, Ross geese, greater and lesser Canada geese and Richardson geese. Good numbers of blue geese are found among the flocks of snows.
Willow ptarmingan are also fairly abundant in the Kaska area. During September the ptarmigan are beginning to change from their summer brown to their white winter colouration.
The Hudson Bay Lowlands in the Kaskattama area is home to a number of polar bears when the ice is off Hudson Bay during the summer and fall season. Kaska's hunters are offered excellent viewing and photo opportunities when taking the helicopter to hunt east or west of Kaska.
