Nobody hates geese more than I do, but I think this may be exactly the wrong way to go about solving the problem. There are two kinds of canada geese: The migratory ones (who really are endangered) and the non-migratory ferral ones who are the descendants of escaped "live decoys." The ferral geese are the ones who stick around and crap all over parks and golf courses. They most likely will not be hunted as there is no sport in hunting an animal that won't get out of the way of a moving car. So if we get rid of more of the migratory geese, will more ferral geese move in to take the spots vacated by their cousins? I bet they do. Ferral geese are like liberals they take advantage of every free lunch made available to them.

That type of talk makes too much sense. You'll get the same reaction from hunters as I get from my "If you really want to control deer population, then you should have doe only hunts" rant.

Mmmmmm, nuthin' like a goose simmered all day, in a crockpot, with BBQ sauce.

Well, you sound like you know a lot more about the issue than I, so I'll buy into your solution.

All I know is that they are vile crap factories that ruin every place they move into.

Maybe we can make shooting the lethargic golf course ones more interesting by tatooing a few random ones with valuable prize notices.

That way, people will split their heads with 4-irons, looking for new Ford Explorer or a giant screen television.

You are right about the level of sport being low, but they may cook up as well and we truely do need to rid of them in camps and parks and school yards. In place, they breed several times a year and without hunting will soon overpopulate every place with a protectionist attitude.

New York is heading in the right direction.
