This episode is much more than just hunting a few Canada Geese. This is about the history of a legendary waterfowl hunter and conservationist, Jack Miner or “Wild Goose Jack”. The Jack Miner Sanctuary in Kingsville Ontario is We also head out a hunt for early season honkers about 30 miles or so away from the Kingsville to try our luck on a few birds. We do get lucky enough to harvest a few birds and a few bands and I can tell you I have never seen that much jewelry in one hunt ever.
