They should make a year-round open season on them. Trucking geese to other states?! Now I know why Gov. Engler cuts these bastard's (DNR) budgets all of the time.

By the way, for those who don't live near the Great Lakes and have never seen a goose turd; they are about the size of a cat's turd. And they $hit as much, or more, as sea gulls.

I don't know why these damn birds are on the endangered species list..their freaking everywhere here in western PA..Hell, even in Charlotte when I lived down there the pesky birds were to be found all over..

They are nasty.

I pulled into a parking lot and the car next to me was absolutly covered in goose poop. It must have taken 200 hits!
I would have loved to stick around and talk to the driver.
Where did you park and WHY HAVEN'T YOU WASHED YOUR CAR????

A few years ago a goose with an attitude took off after my 8 year old son. Funny now but not then.

As far as I'm concerned; Goose, another white meat.

Correct. When we had our little farm, we had four domestic geese. They pooped EVERYWHERE, including the porches, sidewalks, and any surface that was flat enough to accommodate them. They pooped in their SLEEP! Their turds were about the size of a woman's finger, and they could produce one every 10 or 15 minutes. The phrase "Loose as a goose" is based on fact, believe me. We finally had to fence in the dooryard and leave the rest of the property to the geese so we could step out on the porch without having to step in a pile of poop. (They were awfully good weeders, though, and seemed to LOVE stinging nettle.)

Youd don't need to live near the Great Lakes. I live in New York's Lower Hudson Valley and they are as big a problem here as anywhere.

A couple of years ago one of the Towns had a special hunt. The meat was to be given to shelters. The Greens had a fit. The hunt went on anyway and the meat was sent to a lab for inspection. Surprise, surprise, the meat was found unfit to eat because of pollutants they had eaten (I still question the lab report). Of course, the libs had no concern over the health hazard to humans from the droppings.
