Iceland Goose Hunting Season: is from August 20th until March 15th. The best period for the North Coast is September 1st thru September 20th.  The best period for the South Coast is September 20th - October 10th. There are no limits on geese in Iceland.

The Hunt: A day’s bag for 2 hunters can be anywhere between 0 - 50 geese per day. The success of the hunt depends the shooting ability of each hunter, but weather, temperature and other factors of nature will certainly also influence the result. When needed we use Labrador Retrievers to retrieve the downed geese. During goose hunting you will also be able to shoot most species of ducks that might pass your barrel. We hunt only on private fields.

Accommodation: Accommodations during the hunt are in warm and comfortable lodges with full modern amenities, hot water, showers, etc.  

What to bring: 3-Shot Semi-auto, Pump or O/U Shotguns in 12 gauge. Warm, waterproof waterfowl camouflage clothing, warm underwear and knee high rubber boots. Temperatures can vary from 32° - 60° F, but generally the temperature is 41° to 50° F, except in the early morning, when it can be colder. Upon booking we supply a detailed packing list.

Day 2: We wake up well before dawn for breakfast and then out to the field for the morning hunt.  We are normally done hunting by 10 to 12 in the morning. Then we will return to the hunting lodge for meal and rest. In the afternoon we will look for a spot, where the geese return in the evening for the night’s rest.If we have the right conditions, we may have a chance at a few geese at dusk. The evening hunt is not guaranteed, but only a bonus, if we are lucky.
