My mate has just bought a farm house with 8acres of land , and a pond with these domestic geese on he want them gone ! 
can I legally shoot them reply ASAP please 

[Stavross 16,097]

As far as I know, if he owns the land that they are on then he can do whatever he wants with them, right time of year to take them

[David.evans 5,323]

Yes stav it’s his land 

no come backs then ? 
atb 

[Stavross 16,097]

Did they come with the property? Do they stay on his land or have they become a bit feral and spend time in other locations on other land

+1 cant see why not after all domestic geese are just descendants of greylags.

I've trawled the net and can't find anything about this.  The only thing is that now all care has to be tried to deter damage and other methods tried on all species .   IF .... someone complained to the rspca they might poke their noses in.  If your mate don't want them why  don't he see if he can give them to someone.   It seems a bit draconian to go out and waste them cos he don't want them.  These things mate for life. why does he want rid of them.?

[Stavross 16,097]

The only potential problem is if someone stakes a claim to them, because in the eyes of the law they are property, but if they are on his land it shouldn’t be a problem 

[Sausagedog 7,381]

You've got to be humane so an airpistol to tha arse could land you in bother. I guess however there wont be an audience so....

[David.evans 5,323]

He want rid because the pond is next to his house and the noise from them is un real he has inherited them 4no and shitting all over the grazing field where the horses are ive been up there and they attack the car when I drive up 

tried to get out off the car and changed my mind they think there Rockville’s

Get them walloped & in the freezer 

[Tyla 3,179]

Get them boxed up and sold as breeding pairs. If they are old they will be tough as old boots to eat

[goldfinger 135]

Prelove them free and collect, they good early warning with there attitude to intruders, someone might have them for small holding?,they prob be tough as old old boots not fit to eat,as Tyla says. 

[SheepChaser 8,089]

They are treating you like that cos they think you and your mate are intruders, which I guess to them you are. Just catch them up and sell them, you will get tidy money. Not everything needs to be shot as a solution lol.

They probably will be tough as ole boots.  I've shot Canada's out of the tail end  of a skein  and they've been inedible and ended up as dog meat.  One of my neighbours is a bloody know it all nuisance but I  don't go out and blow him away because I could.  I would imagine someone in the hoof & hound division would like them as guard  geese. Or even a note on the local neighbourhood community web page. If you splog them you still got to dispose of them.  How many are there.?
