Washington Fish and Wildlife Commissions have approved permitting requirements
for northwest Oregon and
southwest Washington goose hunters, which include passing a written
examination. The booklet and video titled "Pacific Northwest Goose

Goose Identification Testing for Management Areas 2A and 2B
Goose
identification testing is conducted online
and at designated locations throughout western Washington (see Migratory
Waterfowl and Upland Game Seasons for more information). New
hunters and those who had their previous hunting authorization invalidated
for Goose Management Area 2 need to pass an exam with a minimum of 80%
to receive their current year hunting authorization. Hunters who fail
a test must wait 28 days before retesting, and will not be issued a
reciprocal authorization until that time.
