I remember reading about authorities on the US side of lake Ontario shooting the marauding Canada geese, cooking them up and serving them to the homeless. Good for them. I hate those damned birds.
Last time I went down to Toronto Island over ten years ago, you couldn't go two feet in any direction without stepping in goose shit. Those damned birds are protected over here. Stupidest law on the books.

That's the same for the recreational playing fields by Bear Mountain parking lots in New York, a very pretty area if you can look around the 2 legged creatures.
I have a bumper sticker (picked up in New Hampshire). It reads:
Brake for Moose It can save your life
I'm proud to say that since I've been displaying the above sticker, not a single person in Texas has collided with a moose!
See "Wisconsin".

That is an easy to resolve issue as done by many fields and beaches.
It involves some corner posts and clear monofilament line.

An associate of mine has an automated, taxidermist prepared, coyote that he puts near the edge of the pond at the resort/banquet facility that he owns. The head and tail move... haven't seen a goose there since!

so much. Gooses make great guard dogs.

Sounds like a great idea!!
take it home and butcher it?
Years ago in Kansas the authorities did offer the deer to the person involved in the accident. I don't know if that is still the case. If it is as mangled as some I have seen I wouldn't want it because you can get into all kinds of contamination issues.

In theory, Yes!. In practice, 7 times. (one hit by me, the other six I witnessed or were told about by a trusted friend and made it there within 15 minutes of the "connection") =20 Marc (who does not buy beef)
They guard your banana plantation, eh? How do you keep them around during the winter?

While there, I did bag a moose on the hunting trip. I called the wife to brag just a little.
She asked: "You shot a moose? Somehow that doesn't sound like you. What's missing?"
"Well, it had a saddle..."

Most migrate south into the US for winter. But, an increasingly greater number of them stay and winter in Canada because of the idiots up here who feed them on a regular basis. Failing that, geese are just as capable of breaking into your garbage can as any wily raccoon.
In a coop. Coop De Ville?

Seeing as how you might eat them, don't you mean coup de grace?
There are a few here that would give you a goose if you would hold still for a few minutes.
I had a stove by that name. Excellent old gas job with thermostatic burner, big chrome griddle in the middle, and a separate broiler with unlimited height adjuster. She was a beaut!
And, while we're speaking of wooden c*ck houses, I saw some advertised in the local Grange Co-op ad last week. Hayseuss Crisco, they go for $650-800 around here! Now I see why Swingy was using a Festool to build 'em. I had no idea they went for so much money.

Ruptured internal organs could render the meat unfit. Otherwise, any meat is fair game for chili making.

My dad hit a deer once and the Trooper asked if he wanted to take it home. He daid if he didn't he'd call a person who would. I suppose the difference is freshly killed vs. one you find dead by the road.
