The easiest, but not the most attractive way maybe, is to make it impossible to go walk from the land to the water. Geese will not congregate on grass next to a pond that they can't walk into. They'll go on to another pond if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekheavy Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Just Don't feed 'em. Welcome to TS by the way!! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngnear Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Be careful...If these are Canadian Geese, then they are a Federally protected wildlife. Check with you local Game and Parks commision before doing anything. They can offer you suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Morris Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Marlin makes a 17 HMR. It does wonders keeping squirrels away from the house!! I dont think you can shoot them unless they are in season! MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalwart Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 I shoot them with my Gamo pellet gun while my Black Lab is recovering his torn ACL. Several strips of thin shiny nylon ribbon acting like a fence keeps them from walking from the water onto the property. Canadian Geese are not indigenous here in WA, they are the cause of much of the E. coli pollution shutting some lake beaches every year. They tried relocating them at great expense, the geese just flew back. I've only killed 1 but I prefer to just shoot near them to make them move on, that way I don't have to deal with the bodies. I did get one "coot" or mud hen, 30 seconds later a Bald Eagle picked it up and took off with a still warm meal. That was cool! I don't use lead pellets, rather alloy pellets, when feeding the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vipereatr Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 "Taking" a goose without a permit is a violation of the North American Migratory Waterfowl Treaty. Price per dead goose can be $15,000. U.S. Fish and Game agents are very serious dudes. Even harassment without their or the state Department of Wildlife permission can lead to hot water. BTW - how do you know when a guy is politically incorrect? When he thinks harass is two words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markham51 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 The easiest, but not the most attractive way maybe, is to make it impossible to go walk from the land to the water. Geese will not congregate on grass next to a pond that they can't walk into. They'll go on to another pond if that's the case. You can use clear monofilament fishing line to accomplish this. All you need to do is string it onto a series of stakes around the pond. The geese cant move freely from water to land and they will usually avoid the area. We use this methoud at our golf course.
