CANADIAN GEESE

[RDN]

Are these birds still Federally and State protected from hunting or killing ??

These birds are all over Long Island. They're in people yards and on streets and highways.
IMO - They are pests !!

If a coyote can be killed as a pest, why not Canadian Geese ?

Migratory birds are under federal control. Hunting season and bag limits change every year.. You'll need a duck stamp to hunt them.

Personally I'd love to shoot them on a nice fall day but they taste like shit, I don't care what recipe you come up with, they're shit even for jerky..

New laws because the population has dropped. Late season you can only take 2 geese a day. Atlantic Flyway.

Canadian Geese make me like seagulls more every day.

Just more illegal border crossers. Give them a free home, food, and a visit to a vet.

Hmmmm,,,,I hunt geese and ducks and I love eating them. I have a recipe book called Duck Duck Goose and there is some great recipes in there. Plus there is some great recipes on the internet.

Flocks of them stop by our ponds 2-3 times a year, for a week or so each time.
These are our dogs favorite times of the year. The dogs chase them away all day.
The geese dont leave, they just circle around and land on the other side of the pond.
And before you say that im having my dogs harass wildlife, I have nothing to do with it, the dogs do it on their own.
Also, id say the geese are harassing my dogs. Geese can be absolutely fearless.

I love watching the geese that hang out at the mall. Cars stop 50’ away and wait for them to slowly walk across.
Did you know they can run!

Canada Geese are the spawn of Satan, especially when the fuzzballs show up. I can't stand the damn things.

Those geese are the most disgusting things to walk the Earth. Ever go to any of the parks in Westchester like Glen Island or Kensico Dam? These two parks seem to be the worst I have seen. You cant take two steps without stepping in a pile of goose crap.

Haha reminds me of the time one of the kids on my golf team in HS got chased by a mother Canada Goose on the course near a pond.

If I come across any when I'm out running (usually on the Erie Canal path), I'll turn right around and go the other direction. Fuckers are mean.

Not as mean as swans. Swans are nasty animals when they want to be.

I read that back in the early 1900's "market hunters", supplying the restaurants and butcher shops in the big cities almost wiped out the goose population. The market hunters had live decoys whose wings were clipped so they could not fly and these live decoys were used to repopulate the goose flocks. The geese that do not migrate are believed to be descendents of these live decoys.
