What is the best way to get the damn Canadian Geese out of my yard??? I don't want to resort to shooting the stupid things...
They are not always migratory around here and the big ones do not necessarily go south because they have learned where to get good food year around.
There is the story about a golfer that was arrested for killing one with a putter out of season and he was released since his defense was self defense.
They are smart like the wild turkeys and somehow know the hunting regulations, areas and schedule dates.

Are they decent eating?
I could see making a trip up there if they are.
ROAD TRIP!!! Sounds like more fun then when you took Inspector on that 3 hour cruise.
The eating is a matter of the person doing the judging.
The wild are cleaner and stronger in flavor and out locals are a little more "fishy" and have less flavor.

All of those have been tried here. The Canadian Goose is considered an illegal alien because they stopped and never leave on a migration.
The health problems for people and the costs associated with them are far beyond the enjoyment since the population has gotten out of the "cute" level.
They have become permanent residents and people always stop to let them cross the road or freeway because you never know many will survive. When they get bigger, make messes, destroy yards and get aggressive they become pests that are far worse than the deer invasion. There has been a problem with children being attacked by geese. The deer can be managed much easier by professional hunters hired by municipalities, but the geese are more aggressive, smarter and are too close to people to be hunted or managed reasonably.
Everyone in Texas and Minnesota would be happy if the geese were really migratory and continued south for the winter instead of stopping over and becoming permanent residents.
