There are great numbers that are true migratory geese from Canada who were born there and migrate south.
Unfortunately, there are now millions that were born in northern states such as here in Michigan that don't have that migratory instinct and instead, spend the winters here and continue to breed throughout the spring and summer.
The state could hold an open season on the geese but there is no way they can be safely shot in all the human habitable ares where they now thrive in safety........
The only logical solution is for the DNR to establish a task force whose sole purpose is to track down every pond in every subdivision and golf course and destroy all the spring time nesting sites of these vermin..........
Part of the problem with Canada geese is they lay huge clutches of eggs. I remember reading somewhere that volunteers could “oil” some of the eggs in a nest so they would not hatch, but leave 2 or 3 viable so there was not another attempt at egg-laying. Not sure if that would work, but my guess is some enviro-weenies protested this action. We have several small parks by us that are pretty much unusable by families with small children due to the aggressive and filthy geese, very sad.
On the Carson Wentz topic— I’m a Philly girl and I just adore him! (as much for his football skills as for his love for Jesus) — but in typical Philly fashion. we are doomed as soon as it looks like we might have a winning team. Maybe Billy Penn really is getting his revenge for those stupid sky-scrapers.
