Maybe diplomacy works for you, but I will not negotiate with a goose. These bastard birds only understand one thing. Pain. And whoever can deliver the most pain. Kasey will be up to the task next time. Goose just caught her by surprise.You realize that the park is their home and you are trespassing as far as the normally polite Canadians are concerned. If you befriend or establish dominance with the Alpha goose they should leave you alone. I have a way with birds and other than a slight 'misunderstanding' with a swan a few years back, can typically walk right up to ducks, geese, pigeons, birds of prey, and turkeys with ease.
I find them acceptable if you take just the two breast halves soak them in a pan with waster and baking soda overnight.I'm curious how they taste. I guess not, as good-tasting birds wouldn't have had this kind of population growth.
If it doesn’t back away, this upside it’s head:I am just about my wits end. In all my life I have never encountered birds as mean as these Canada geese lately. Yesterday I was at the park with my grandson. I’ve been taking him to the park lately. He loves it and I could use the exercise. Anyway, The park has a small pond and I told my grandson to go stand by the pond so I could take a picture for the bride. The damn geese were a good 4-5 feet away but one of them must have taken offense to my grandson. The damn bird lunged at my grandson and startled him so much he tripped running away. So I march over there to give it a piece of my mind and the damn thing just spreads its wings acting like it doesn’t know it’s place in the animal kingdom. So today I bring my golden retriever Kasey to the park too. We walk back over towards the pond and those same geese are still swimming around by the shore. I tell Kasey to go get em and she takes off like the good girl she is. Most of the geese retreat except one stays and challenges Kasey. I bet it was the same bastard that I dealt with yesterday. Damn thing pecked at poor Kasey’s nose. Now she won’t even go near the pond. I don’t know what else to do. How can I best dispatch these geese?

I was also thinking maybe I could use a slingshot. I remember using a slingshot with 00 buckshot when I was a kid but I heard those are illegal in Massachusetts. Are slingshots permitted with a valid LTC? I think slingshot might just be the best option because of noise and concealibility.
JFC, you're going to carry a gun in a park against geese??? Grow a pair and kick the damn bird, you betaThank you for the replies. I agree, in Massachusetts, a firearm is probably not the wisest choice. I will start carrying in the park, in case things get out of hand. I like the ideas of an ice pick or garrote. Very professional. Maybe when i was younger but I don’t think it is a viable option. I also dont like the idea of using a poison or alka seltzer because I do not want to run the risk of hurting an innocent goose. Might try to hit it with one of my Titleists. What’s par for a goose? 3 strokes with a 7 iron?

A flamethrower- to cook it on a spot.What engine oil, anti-freeze, wrist watch and cologne combination work best with a specific caliber for geese?
Lets say 9mm for arguments sake
The answer is snow tires.What engine oil, anti-freeze, wrist watch and cologne combination work best with a specific caliber for geese?

Probably a 6 iron.
Kill the Goose or spark up Menthol Heater, can't you do both?Next time you take your nephew to the park and the goos attacks and tries to bite you grab it by the head and twist it like you are winding up a softball pitch. That will break its neck and your nephew will talk about it for the rest of his life. Far cooler than lighting up a Newport.
P.S. Wear a cup in case the goose goes for the twig and berries.

The dominant goose is the one who was attacking you. He’s going to be the one pushing all the other geese out of the way to get to the doughballs with the Alka Seltzer center.Thank you for the replies.

Pretty much , used to feed the ducks and geese as a child and there was always one bastard who ate first. We called him gimp.The dominant goose is the one who was attacking you.

Or so I’m told.
