By John Pollmann with DU. The Light Goose Conservation Order (LGCO) is an excellent opportunity to extend the waterfowl season, but pinpointing this fast-paced migration can be a daunting task.

Whether freelancing or planning a guided trip, the following destinations should be at the top of any LGCO hunter’s list.
