“Is it illegal to take Canadian Goose eggs?”

Interesting. The lore in our goose infested area is that if you come across a nest, destroy all of the eggs, but one. If you leave one, they will hatch it. If you take them all, they'll just lay more.
I would have guessed that he was charged for taking the eggs because they had no proof that he killed the dead goose.
