Was not that long ago that there was no such thing as a "resident goose" in this state let alone more than enough to go around .
Perhaps they should have a year round Deer season also . I mean "we" almost put both species on the endangered list at one time .
I have about as much respect for geese as I do coyotes... NONE! [/b]Actually, I have a LOT more respect for the coyotes than I do those feathered rats!!!!
Almost every year, we get a goose depredation permit to harass them out of the freshly planted fields. We have had to replant sections of fields before because of them. I'm not talking big numbers of geese either. A 1/2 dozen geese will do way more to a field of corn than the deer, coons, and squirrels will. They will walk straight down a row, and pluck every single seed out of it!!! By the time the real season comes in, they know better to come around our place!!!
