Default Who ya gonna call? Goose Busters!

We had a problem with geese at the high school here in Alton. Apparently, our fields and grounds, which includes wetlands, is goose heaven.

Several methods to get rid of the rats with wings was tried - none really worked. The faux fox or wolf idea (like the ones posted above) were tried - the props disappeared... other ideas were attempted but nothing worked. The geese were hanging around the fields, pooping everywhere... and you get the idea.

Until there was a suggestion to detonate a device that would make a loud "BANG" sound. It was supposed to scare them into leaving. They don't like loud noises. It worked!
