And, it doesn't matter if you dislike geese. The law says they are protected. I dislike the mess and annoyance as well. I would use every possible legal means to keep them away. What's the difference between running them down and shooting them? Both would be illegal.
The law does say they are protected. For what reason I'm not sure since they breed like rabbits and pollute like there is no tomorrow. I can't stand these things. Wait a few more years and as the lake continues to deteriorate due to their droppings I'm sure you'll have a change of heart. Why we can't control exploding animal populations that breed disease such as deer and geese is beyond me. How about a goose hunt with the geese from the hunt donated to homeless folks? The next thing you know you want be able to kill field mice in your basement because they are endangered.
