Algonquian Indians called this area “Carotank” meaning “land of the wild goose.” Today, it is known as Currituck. The area remains rich with waterfowl history. Situated on the Atlantic Flyway, Currituck Sound is an ideal stopover for migrating ducks, geese and swans.
North Carolina Canada goose season is broken up into 2 different seasons. The first is the resident goose season. This season runs September 1-30. (Excluding Sundays) Each year it continues to rise. We hunt over the Currituck Sound in a Scissor Rig (float blind), in stationary bush blinds, or agriculture fields. We can accommodate up to 4 hunters at a time on these hunts. The limit is 15 geese per hunter during the September season. Your guns will need to be plugged as we are on the east side of HWY 17. This is due to the September teal season. We do offer teal hunts during this early goose season. Both Canada Goose and Teal hunts can be full or half day hunts. (See prices)
The second North Carolina Goose season is our late season. This is called "The NE Hunt Zone" The limit is 1 goose per hunter. The late Canada Goose season runs from December 24th-January 31st. We can accommodate up to 6 hunters during this season. We get a good push of lesser migrating Canada Geese during the late season. We mainly hunt fields over our GHG full body decoys, and A-Frame blinds. A late season goose hunt is fun by itself, but also is a great time of year to add a swan hunt to the late season goose. (Please see swan page for more info about swan permits)
The season is September 1 through 30.
Fourth Generation Outfitters takes pride in their heritage. With four generations in their blood, they're continuing the tradition of hunting Canada geese out of their scissor rig.
The scissor rig dates back to the market gunning days. Sink boxes have been outlawed in much of the state, but Currituck County has kept the scissor rig style of hunting alive. Fourth Generation Outfitters has taken this method of hunting and perfected it!
In addition to the September goose season, northeast North Carolina also offers an early September Teal season in mid-September. During this time hunters may have the opportunity to shoot 6 Teal per hunter and your limit of Geese for no extra charge. Both Canada Goose and Teal hunts can be full or half day hunts. (See prices)
Please come join the Fourth Generation Outfitters crew, and experience a piece of history.
The season is December 24-January 30th.
The limit is 1 goose per hunter.
. Hunters are asked to call at one day before the hunt to confirm birds are here for their hunt. If no birds are here during the time of your hunt a later date can be arranged.
