there's an idea that's time has gone that i miss.....
heads on pikes to ward off intruders.
say a convience store that gets robbed every few months, and the clerk shoots a few of em.
put the heads on a pike outside the store as a warning.
back on topic... you know goose poop does NOT bio-degrade. it is toxic, and a real nusance. it kills any vegitation beneath it, and generally sucks arse.
geese (canadian at least) are supposedly a protected species (damn canuks) you shoot them illegally it is a world of trouble.... IF they find out. a .22 makes very little sound, and popping a few of them should scare others off badly especially if they see the dead. geese dont like the sight of other dead geese.
the local golf course did this. killed a few geese (with shotgus though) and left the dead geese for a few weeks. that particular tagged flock has not come back ever... though a new flock took roost for a short time.... rinse repeat story
because of the abundant food provided by man the migratory patterns of the geese is royally screwed, and you will probably get either more or different geese next year no matter what you do.
calling the DNR will do nothing, unless you can PROVE a serious health risk... unsightlyness they dont ive a f&^% about.
another thing,.... laying out wires to foul their feet (no pun intended) works well, they wont land on that ground anymore but it is illegal too without DNR permission at least here in wisconsin. it's what they do on rooftops and stuff, a grid of thin wires about 2 feet apart, the birds try and land then get fouled in the wires, panic and take off again. but you have to have a license to put them up.
all in all i say kill the filthy F@#$%&, but you may be screwed. a 60 acre lake is pretty darn big, and they will find a secluded alcove to stay in, unless every property owner around the whole shoreline is in on the "removal"
