Were they Armor Piercing Incendiary or Depleted Uranium Shells?

Just walk a dog around the area a couple of times a month.  My office hires a dog specifically trained to chase geese (but not attack them) to come by periodically and scare them off.  The geese will not return after a while.

kinda hoping I can find something that makes them go away with a minimum of effort.  Would be nice to stop the neighbors dogs from cr--ing on my lawn too...

That has to suck d**k, I envision something out of Audobon with 20-30 nests!  

Off topic, I have a buddy that moved out to Tracy, CA from Michigan.

No, it wasn't an AP bullet.  There were just that many of them.

Actually one of them would come back, geese are one of the few animals in nature who stay with one mate their entire life. Thus the joy of hunting them is that you kill one the mate is bound to come back looking for his/her lost love.

I must be old cause that sentence freaked me out. If you're going to kill it because they crap all over the place and piss you off, i can understand, but what you wrote is sick....

Just get you a bucket of balls and a 9 iron....not only will it scare them away but your score will improve over time.

.22 cal rifle with a 16oz mountian dew plastic bottle taped to the end would work after dark......

I can't believe none of you grew up on a farm!  If you had, you'd know about taking a piece of bacon fat, tying it securely to a long piece of string, then placing it near the water.

A goose will walk up, see the bacon fat, and eat it.  He can't digest it, so it will go through his digestive track and end up on the ground, but with the string still attached.  

Next goose walks up, think 'Hey, free food' and will eat the same piece of fat and it will work its way through HIS digestive system too.  

This happens a few times, and now you've got a bunch of upset geese...  on a string.

Technically, it might not get rid of them, but it's funny to see all these geese doing a conga down by your pond.

[Chairboy]

Oh, for a more useful use of string, throw a bunch of it on the pond.  Geese hate floating string, won't land there.  I dunno if it looks like a snake or what, but it repels them.

12 Guage slugs do a real number on geese.  There's a more discrete soloution but it involves a Ruger 10/22, a length of steel pipe, a tap and die set, several large washers, some steel wool, JB weld and a complete disregard for legal consequences.
