time for action!
SAM - I completely agree that it's time for something to be done, they are over-populating and their by-product is bad for the lake ecology and also a general nuisance...
Although I like Shore Things approach for innovative restaurant menu options... they look mighty bony...
Found the below solution on the internet, no idea if it is really effective, but by observation they do seem to eat a lot of grass (which apparently is where the term "like sh*t through a goose" came from!)
In areas where geese may considered a problem, the primary attraction is turf grass. Since geese are grazers, lawn areas are an inviting source of food for them. ReJex-iT (and other similar products that go by different trade names) is a non-toxic matieral that when applied to turf grass makes it inedible and repulsive to geese. The active ingredient is the same compound that gives concord grapes their characteristic flavor
Of course it doesn't actually bring down the goose population but might drive them to somewhere further away from the lake?
