The geese population seems to be on the rise, at least everywhere I travel (plane or car). Is it just me?
No, its very true. Especially non-migratory geese to have taken up home in many areas around the US. Unfortunately, airports tend to have large open spaces, and retention ponds. All of which provide nice homes for the geese.
Sportsmen have for years been trying to get hunting regulations adjusted to allow non-migratory goose hunting in areas where they have been become thick to no avail.
