jhunsch 20 #1 Posted January 13, 2014 RESIDENT CANADA GOOSE NEST &EGG DEPREDATION If you have problem Geese in your area & want to do something about it. Here is the starting information, the legally correct way to do it. Please share this info, Face book, Twitter, All your contacts and friends, and Forums. People are getting sick form Goose droppings in grassy areas. When lawn mowers throw it up in the air the operator breaths this dust in. If you are a Golf player you know the deal. In some areas there are so many Geese, they cause traffic problems. This web site works for most any state. It covers the lower 48 States and the District of Columbia. And please don’t feed the wild life. Go to: WWW.dgif.virgina.gov Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Click on: Wildlife Information Click on: Nuisance & Problem Wildlife Click on: Canada Geese Click on: registration process Click on: New User Create Login ID. Password Complete the registration process. There are several ways to destroy the eggs. A personal recommendation is to affix a small, thin nail to a broom handle and simply approach the nest and poke one small hole in each egg. And allow them to sit for full term, other wise they will rebuild. I do not recommend completely destroying the nest because the goose pair will only rebuild, possibly in another area where you are not authorized to destroy eggs. Please take time to read through the information on the website, get informed and keep it legal and humane. You must register each year prior to destroying nests/eggs. You may register anytime between January 1 and June 30 of the year in which your activity will take place.                                     1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick 237 #2 Posted January 22, 2014 We have a bunch of 'em around here, none have settled on my place yet. If they do, I am going to try them to see how they taste. Folks used to spend a lot of money traveling to kill 'em, same damn bird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tech270154 8 #5 Posted January 22, 2014 they are very nice to watch in fly but they are bad for the farm land,they don`t eat just the seedling and grass they even eat the roots and destroy the whole plants .also there feces are not good for enrich the soil and did you ever walk along the water shore next to your land, (your feet are full of excrement )and what about the the microbes they could bring .this is my opinion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick 237 #7 Posted January 23, 2014 We have many that hang around my workplace, they leave huge poops all over and won't get out the way when we are moving cars around. You can bet there would be hell to pay if one were to be run over...B&G was spraying weeds and a bunny was found dead in the area. There was an investigation made when some ladies complained!
