OK would I have gone to jail?

Why are geese protected? They're everywhere!

More stuff that is illegal=more power that government has.

I'm sickened by the candid nature and ribbing: These CANADIAN geese are coming here, having anchor babies, taking jobs away from AMERICAN geese. This is a real problem and should be handled by immigration. I propose we write our senators and representatives and have them put a bill into motion to build a net on the Canadian/American border to prevent them from illegally immigrating into our country!!!11!!1!

If only the administration could be this strict when it comes to illegals on the southern border!

Drove past a truck on 465 today for the Geese Police. Next time, try giving them a call :P

I hate geese, they're vile, evil, bastards, and many deserve to die.

Yes they have good attributes, but so do most serial killers.

I'm tired of the government, and the hippies telling us they're so special.

I once knew a man who approached a couple geese who wouldn't get out of the road, revved the engine, and they sped up and got out of the way. Some ***** tried to get him fired over it.

So, because he slightly frightened a couple ******* geese, that's a reason to cause his wife and children to lose there sole source of food and shelter?

Of course, he dont have a wife, or children, but she didn't know that, lol...

My point is. When you make a corporate complaint to a mans company, for scaring some geese, and try to get him fired. Bear in mind, your name goes on that report, and google COULD pair that name with an address, and you might wake up the next morning missing some valve stem cores.

Just sayin.

Wait what movie were to there to see? This could be the deciding factor

We were actually there to see "Divergent" . Think maybe it was "them" that sicced the goose on us?

Yesterday I had the opportunity to eliminate one of these fowl denizens of our communities.

I was in a parking lot near the corner of 71st and Georgetown. As I was slowly crossing in my truck, and exceptionally stupid goose walked in front of me. I slowed to a stop and the damn thing just stood there, close enough to my truck that it could have bit the bumper. No fear, no intelligence.

I wanted to just goose the gas and serve humanity and the planet at the same time, but I backed down.


rhino out!

You know, it is ALMOST impossible to deliberately run over one of these nasty things. They sense when you are actually trying to kill them! Don't ask how I KNOW!

Mother Goose , The Goose that laid the golden eggs. Did you Goose The Goose that was loose ?? If so you had it coming, lol

 

[Frosty]

Have you ever been attacked by one or more of these things.....yes, the can be vicious. Yes, they will bite the hell out of you.
Kick the **** out of it and go on. Hope no one sees it. JMHO

Have had to fight my way through a "Herd" of them before.

got to close to a nest once when I stumbled out of the woods looking for a fishing spot... That SOB grabbed me with its beak and proceeded to go to town with wings and claws! Those wings will leave welts and the claws are sharp as hell! Anybody that makes fun of somebody for get whipped on by a goose has never dealt with one!

You betcha. They do get right back up when you try a field goal on one.

 

[caulfieldian]

I am always secretly pleased when I see a Canadian goose that's been hit by a car. Evil creatures.

I always enjoyed letting my dog of his leash and watching him terrify a horde of them in the big field next to our neighborhood.

Those feathers on their chest can stop buckshot... They are tough mother ****ers, and yes, they should all die!

You know the more I think about it, maybe I shoulda shot the darn curb!
I mean, I had the goose handled, right? It was that darn curb sneaking up on me that got me!

I use to drive a bus, at the Shelbyville Casino. We had a driver run over 2 geese. He was fired, and Police were called. Police called DNR. DNR, fined him $2500.00 EACH !!!!!

 

[Trooper]

Well one solution is to start goose hunting this fall. Anyone for spending a few thousand for a good shotgun, a boat and a dog?

Meat is greasy but goose was once the food of the poor.

Why are geese protected? They're everywhere!

They became protected back in 1918 as part of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act originally with Britain, and later Mexico, Japan and Russia. Because of all our development in Central Indiana and the addition of very attractive landscaping and retention ponds, the geese decided to stay year round. These are not considered migratory geese, but resident Canadian geese and the protections are not as severe. Permits are available to destroy nests and remove eggs. I have had a permit for the past five years. A golf umbrella makes a nice weapon cause you never know when it might rain.

The Mississippi flyway is nearly back the early 1800 population level. And the east coast flyway is also making a comeback.

The problem is that deer hunting is more popular than hunting duck or goose.
