Early Goose Hunting Season for 2025 in MN should begin September 6th and run until the 20th. There's a five-bird daily limit for licensed hunters, with bonus teal going from Sep 6th-10th. You can find the actual dates at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources website. The Early goose season is an opportunity to get the first crack at reducing the local goose population here in Minnesota.

Just north of the Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge, we have a huge number of birds that visit the rice fields every day. We also farm Japanese Millet, and moist soil grasses specifically for waterfowl to entice the birds to visit Palisade Flats.

From the pit blinds to brushed duck boats, our guides utilize the grounds of Palisade Flats to give you the best opportunity to harvest your birds throughout the early goose season. Proper scouting and harvest management ensure quality hunts for all our members.

Our All-Inclusive Package provides:

• Overnight lodging in the Mallard Club

• Private individual room

• Meals provided (Brunch, Snacks, Appetizers, & Supper)

• Access to Grandview Lodge Bar and Recreation area

• Transportation to and from blinds in UTV or Sherp

• Field dressing, packing, and tagging of birds

The entire lodge is available to your private party in our All-Inclusive - Entire Lodge (Up to 5 Guests) Package below.

We also have availability to accommodate to Drive-In Hunters Only
