Fuck Geese

At my house in Vermont, we have a bit of a goose infestation. It's been going on since we got the house about five years ago. There is a pond out front (not our pond so much as the town's pond, but it is in our front yard) and scores of geese hang out around it; swimming on it, walking around it, shitting on our lawn, squawking, doing goose things. A few years ago, my dad bought a cheap airsoft pistol from Walmart to try and shoo these bastards away. My friend shot one in the neck; it honked, shook its head, and went about its business.

Now, I'm an environmentalist and I'm all about preserving the ecosystem's integrity, but these geese don't feed, mate, or make shelter on our lawn. They just come in the morning, loaf around all day, and leave at night. And shit all over our lawn. Did I mention that? So I say it's time for some semi-harmless retribution.

Say hello to retribution.

This, like the Walmart gun, is an airsoft gun—but it shoots 0.4g pellets somewhere between 300-400 fps. Oh, and it's equipped with a bipod and 3-9x40 mil-dot red/green illuminated scope. Whoops.

Geese, you can run, you can waddle, you can float, and you can even fly; but god dammit, you cannot hide.

yea something about the 2nd amendment idk.

Doesnt matter what you shoot these geese with your going to get in trouble. Might as well be the kid that killed 20 geese with a shotgun then the fag that picked one off with his BB gun.

^^guys i think he meant the act of shooting and killing geese is illegal, not the act of owning a gun. in many places, this is correct. i live on one of the finger-lakes and these motherfuckers get all up in my shit, on my porch, dock, lawn, whatever, i know the pain this guy is going through, but it is totally illegal to kill those geese.

shooting them with an airsoft gun, while frowned upon by the law, is less illegal than shooting them with whatever gun your daddy/uncle/best friends lesbian mom says they have. because it kills them less. it just kinda hurts them (geese are fucking tough, it probably wont.) and then hopefully they will go to your neighbors yard.


now monkeys on the other hand....

idk if it works with geese, but i used to get groundhogs and shit all up in my flower patch and it would piss my mo off because it would fuck shit up, and my mom is a hair stylist, so she got a bunch of hair and put it around our yard, and those things never came back, so u should shave ur entire families heads while their sleeping, put it around the perimeter of the house, and lemme know how it works

Geese are dumb birds, and tough as hell too. I hit one in the neck with my slingshot from about 15 yards away and this bird just jumped about 5 feet in the air, shitting itself in the process, landed, and proceeded to go about its business while honking loudly at me.

if you get a 22 with subsonic rounds even if you lvie in a residential area you'll be fine. people wont really hear the shots and these mother fuckers should be killed anyway.

Or you could make a dishsoap/water thing in a spray bottle and squirt them, then when the try to swim they sink because their feathers lose their loft.

This, and use .22 shorts too. Much shorter range and reduce richochet alot. I use them on the ground squirrels in the yard.

The plus is that you can pick up a decent .22 rifle for less than or the same price as your air rifle.

Fuck I love this thread. I used to annihilate squirrels (aka tree rats) and seagulls with a .22 cal pellet rifle with a maaassive scope on it. It is was cheap! And came free with:
Stopping Power Pro
Steady Aim Pro

False. I have the same problem as the OP and we've killed a few with pellets and bbs. It just takes a good head or neck shot. One time my grandma chased them off our lawn with a broom and a male charged her. She swung, and snapped it's neck on the broom.

Slingshots are the answer.

I work at a golf course and in the fall these fuckers fly in and wreck shit left and right with their shit. All of us on the grounds staff sit by the garage and drive golf balls into the crowds of them, my boss likes to keep a kill count.

mother fucker i hate geese. when i fish i bring golf balls with me and whip them at the geese whenever they get in my way. ive killed like 6 this way. you just gotta have some baseball experience and a nice headshot.

...but i hate cats more. i play golf and was fooling around just chipping in my backyard and shanked one behind a tree. when i go behind the tree to get my ball (titlist prov1) a fucking cat is playing with it. of course i get pissed cause a worthless outdoor cat is playing with my $4 ball. so i take a nice swing straight to the chest of the cat. hit the son bitch dead on and it lunched a good 15 feet in the air, landed, then limped away. i was stoked. i fucking hate cats.

.22 CB's are where its @ (subsonic rounds like someone mentioned above^)

Click for larger image

they shoot at a speed less than the sound barrier so there is no sonic boom when the bullet leaves the barrel aka no "BANG!'.  just a little "pop" that won't bother the neighbors at all.  and they will take down a goose 1000 times better than that airsoft gun (however badass it may be {for an airsoft gun, that is})

just get a crossman. mine was 35 dollars, its pump powered. i pump it up about 10 times for non lethal shots with bb's, 20 times for more pain. it also fires a .177 caliber pellet round which is available in hollowpoint or regular pellet shape. these fuckers are deadly. 20 pumps on a pellet and a body shot on a squirrel and that fucker will bleed right the fuck out real quick. get a head shot and he's done. but you could really hurt the shit out of a goose with the bb's and if that doesnt work i'm positive the pellet will really fuck it up nicely, but keep it alive. it won't want to shit on your lawn after getting hit a couple times a day with one of those.

Where I live, we also have an intense goose infestation. The city has been trying everything to stop it. So far the only thing that has worked is starving them out. But then animal activists get all pissy.
