you can employ a few 870's for that.

The local college uses plywood dog silhouettes that are painted black.

No shit.  It would give him an outlet for his energy and give me 5 minutes of peace.  By the end of the work week he's wound up like a Floridian crackhead that discovered meth for the first time.  It takes all weekend to wear him out.

But, since they're offering, I'll take check, cash, or PayPal.

I'm sure they could get some homeless guy with a rake to chase away geese for less than that. Or better yet a boyscout with an air rifle.

They're used out here too with bells on the neck and they move in the wind. Ineffective.

Yeah, I've seen those. With geese sleeping in the shade.

They will pay the geese chasers $1,500 a month for three months to parole the area with border collies.

That a misspelling or are these geese felons?

How do they know the geese are Canucks? Just because they are Canada geese, it doesn't make them Canadian.

Probably are New Jersey Canada geese.

My old neighborhood hired a group like this.  Still had big ol goose poop everywhere when I moved.

In England, USAF bases use falconry to deal with birds.  Over there, you can get a beautiful tawny owl for about $500, and there isn't a 2 year apprenticeship requirement like there is over here.

<Wildlife Sci Major, dogs/geese was a case study we focused on.

We used to be plagued with geese here up until about 5-6 years ago when their numbers seemed to have declined (locally).  They aren't hanging around as much and I don't see as many huge broods of little ones in the spring like I used to. I think the coyote's are really thinning them out during nesting season.

Wish the coyote's would work a little harder on the geese in my area.  We have a year round population of several thousand.
