jiggy 3,207 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 What harm do Canada geese do compared to other geese? There isn't any geese near me so I wouldn't know much about them. Quote Link to post

Thousands here, eat all the grass on the crofts, summat in their droppings that effects sheep too, big cull here last few years of grey lags and Canadas. Never bothered me but we get free ammo on goose cull scheme. Quote Link to post

I live inland and would have to travel fifty to eighty miles or more to get near geese. Canadas are protected here but we can shoot greylags but they are too low in numbers anyway to cause problems. ? Quote Link to post

In England the Canada Goose has virtually taken over many inland areas to the detriment and loss of many more local indigenous geese/ducks. Farms, stables, Golf courses etc etc suffer damage/crop loss/and of course the health issues, I'm sure it can't be right but more seems to come out of the back end of a Canada than goes in the front end. 1 Quote Link to post
Lee.m 142 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Agree with both posts but I can’t stand seeing these rabbits with mixey when I do I feel so sorry for them and just put them down I would rather be putting myself against healthy fit animals that are a lot harder to shoot not ones which just sit there waiting to die or getting picked of by crows or magpies. 1 Quote Link to post
