Fall bird hunting in New Brunswick provides an opportunity for you to test your reflexes with the speedy Grouse, work closely with your dogs to locate and challenge the wily Woodcock or learn patience as you wait in your hide, anticipating the arrival of an assortment of waterfowl including black duck, wood duck, green-winged teal, blue-winged teal, golden-eyes, scaup, ringnecks, and of course, an abundance of New Brunswick's largest waterfowl, the Canada goose along with Snow and Grey geese. Goose and duck hunting is done mainly in grain fields along the Tobique and St. John rivers. Please note - Lead shot is prohibited!

New Brunswick lies directly in the migratory flightpath of the Woodcock. Add to this, the number of these testy little game birds that winter over, and you have a marvellous opportunity to bag your limit. Numerous coverts and other preferred habitats provide ample cover so the birds flourish in this area.
