Is it legal to hunt them ?
- JimtheCoder 4y agoYes, during hunting season. But no, not in the park, by the playground, near the kids...
- orthoxerox 4y agoThe kids should know where the food on their tables comes from.
- vxNsr 4y agoI fully agree with this. I’ve personally often thought about starting a summer camp that is basically just farm work for kids, have them raise chickens, goats, etc and at the end of the summer there’s a big feast… but the kids also participate in the slaughter so there’s no doubt in their mind where food comes from.
- knicholes 4y agoYou can call it Dahmer Factory.
- zoklet-enjoyer 4y agoPlease tell that to the city of Fargo https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.inforum.com%2Fnews%2Ffargo%2Ffargo-park-board-oks-redesigned-riverside-hunting-program https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.inforum.com%2Fnews... https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.inforum.com%2Fnewsmd%2Ffargo-park-board-outlaws-most-animal-trapping-in-city-parks https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.inforum.com%2Fnews...
- maxerickson 4y agoThere's at least some states with hunting seasons (didn't try to do a comprehensive check). In general, city parks are not open to hunting, so hunting wouldn't necessarily help much with the geese that occupy them. I say necessarily because I can imagine a scenario where some particular flock of geese that spends time in a park also spends time on land that is open to hunting. Possible, but probably not that common.
- eru 4y ago> In general, city parks are not open to hunting, [...] What about trapping?
- glitchc 4y agoIt is legal to kill pest animals in Canada. Prairie dogs are a good example. Unfortunately geese are a protected species due to a 1918 law, so no, any hunting or killing is a federal crime and subject to fines. Update: Hunting in designated areas is permitted if a license is obtained [1].

- i_am_proteus 4y agoYes- in accordance with state and local hunting laws. Typically this means only during a specified time between December and February, and almost certainly not in the vicinity of inhabited dwellings. Geese are smart, they figure out where they aren't hunted and congregate in these areas. In areas where hunting is feasible (shooting lines over hundreds of yards of water; goose loads lose their energy pretty quickly compared to rifle or pistol rounds), regular hunting will deter geese from the area. That said, even a suppressed 12ga will have loud (140 dB) reports that won't fly in urban areas. (If y'all couldn't tell, I hunt waterfowl)
- joe8756438 4y agoThere’s also resident goose populations — some states have seasons specifically for resident geese (dates when migratory birds are for the most part absent). Bag limits in those seasons are significantly higher. Unfortunately resident geese have vermin status around northeast US. Do you know if many hunters take advantage of resident geese seasons?
- nmeofthestate 4y agoThis is why one normally uses a sword to hunt geese in a built-up area.
