I consider geese to be like milfoil. They have been around for a long time but have not taken up residence on the Lake until recent years. Now they are breeding here. If they are allowed to populate the Lake unchecked they will ruin the water quality and watch the property values drop.

I do not have a solution on how to get them off of the Lake. We don't want to do anything stupid but something has to be done.

Any ideas?

We chased them off our property a few years ago with our son's paintball gun. We didn't aim to hurt them, but they got the idea, took off and didn't come back.
They are amazingly territorial and protective of their babies.
When we started firing paintballs near them they rounded up the little ones and ran.
