Just want to check, are Canada geese on year round GL?

Cheers

Only under the conditions of the general licence bud, so yeah

They certainly are. I've been at them for a month now. I was pricking eggs until the end of April and I've shot quite a few too

Canada Geese fella, not unicorns. Where have you been for the last twenty feckin' years, they're taking over the countryside and local parks! I've a permit to control them on works land and what season are you talking about? They're open or on G/L!

They carry decease, are aggressive, ruin golf courses, if they nest on the moor are capable of taking young grouse, and go through some grass on the farms I go on. Ask any farmer if he wants them on. Feck me, what more can I say. I prefer to prick the eggs as to shooting them, but sometimes they need removing. DEFRA used to issue licenses for pricking eggs up to the end of April for obvious reasons, I still stick to that arrangement. Is that ok?

Thank you Cragman and the other chaps who replied........any tips on decoying them, do they use a flight line, will they come to a splash on scrub grass land or would they prefer to be on the wheat?

Good reply.

 

I am a wildfolwer but can see the need for controlling what is basically an eating, shitting, breeding machine.

 

Sounds like you are doing your job as efficiently as possible, with pride and professionalism.

Would I be correct in saying decoying them would be against the open GL? maybe something to just be aware of. ie. if your attacting them to an area then you obviously havnt tried other options like scaring them first. In some areas do gooders get quite emotional about geese so just read all terms of the licence first and back up everything you do. That said iv never read the terms of the licence for them so may be talking shiit! I prefare to shoot them in season and pretend I'm a proper wildfowler
