30 years ago when I was living around the chesterton area, there was even MORE...

As far as average hunter? I only take a couple 3 geese a year...Thats all we will eat with walleyes, rabbit, deer, ducks and whatever wildgame we have in the freezer.

This may be like the deer population in some areas.....little to none, while some areas have thousands.

There never was any "finally got the population to a point"... around here, they are everywhere, and I stand by the words....RAISE IT
