Bear1cat 4 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hi Guys, As title could do with some advice. Me and my shooting buddy have been asked to clear some Canada geese that are being a problem. We normally shoot pigeons, crows, etc so don't know a lot about geese. They are using a body of water and creating a lot of mess in areas used by people. Though this area is private not public. I know we can't use lead and the general license terms. What is the best time of day and tactics to get to them? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bear1cat 4 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Oh, another question. Can you use dead geese as decoys like pigeons? If so how do you set them up? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reabrook 6 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I thought wildfowling was about small bags. It is. What your talking about is pest control and goose shooting 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rugerguy 2 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Canadas are a little different to other geese, most are used to people and are not as easily spooked. Not as good to eat either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
