You know that there are two populations of Canada geese? The ones you are
complaining about are the resident population and their numbers are
growing enormously. However, the migratory Canada goose population is
quite stressed.

Here in New Jersey, we have a rather liberal early season and late season,
that targets the resident populations. The mid-season, when the migratory
population is passing through, is rather restrictive. I would assume the
migration is comparable in Connecticut.

Canada is welcome to come to Northern Virginia and take some of the damn geese
back! Maybe they'd become migrators again and kill two birds with one stone!

Ah, but I can understand his complaining. Any grassy area around here is
definitely a watch your step experience. Somewhere I read that a goose
produces more "waste" per day than a human. Yuck!

We've so decimated the critter habitat that I have no objections to
sharing what is left. Most evenings, just about dusk, I have foxes walking
through the edge of my back yard next to the woods. I'd rather see them
than some damned ugly subdivision house across the field.

Well, we sure have changed the habitat, but around here, the animals have
seemed to have adapted. They are far more numerous and varied than when I
was younger. New Jersey isn't thought of as country, but within walking
distance of my house, I have seen bear, beaver, otter, coyote, wild
turkeys. All of which would have been quite rare, if existent, just a few
years ago. Oh, and deer, they are like vermin, forget gardens or shrubs.

Around here, those grassy areas include all the school football and soccer
fields. The kids, especially the female ones, do *not* like sliding over the
ground through a bunch of goose ****.

We should be allowed to use our 12 Gauges.

Retention ponds around here are crisscrossed with fishing line just above
the water to keep the geese out.

Beautiful birds but messy and very aggressive.

What? Up here they have perfect manners and cause no trouble.

Nope. Nukes would make the geese inedible. I prefer my geese roasted or
deep-fried.
