NJ is implementing a spring snow goose hunting season from March 11 – April 18, 2009 . Here is the link to the site. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/news/2009/snowgeese09.htm Before we do anything about them, I think we should do something about the Canada Goose first. Everywhere you go you see them; parks, playgrounds, parking lots etc. I mean, you can't even play a round of golf without coming in contact with them. And forget about fishing. I take my daughter fishing and there are Canada Goose droppings all over.
A company I used to work for had a really bad problem with them, so they spent money on cardboard cutouts of dogs to scare the geese away. After a while the geese became accustomed to them and actually starting eating and sleeping right next to them. Then they hired a dog patrol, figuring that a real dog would do the trick. Although the girl with the dog came at different times, the same thing happened. As soon as she left, the geese came back. Sometimes even more.
But this is New Jersey so it is no surprise that the officials who run the state would not want to do anything to scavengers that feed off other people. I mean the Canada geese, not the politicians.
