I will be leaving the office at 11:30 today. I would be letting everyone down if I didn't.
Thank you. That is all. Carry on.

Holler, I understand that they had a one month season on the so-called Canada Geese last year. We were going to hire some hunters to clear up our golf course but some of the surrounding neighbors objected. If those birds continue to march single file across busy highways here, we may be able to take care of the situation without hunting them.  |

Most states have a two week season on the Resident Giant Canada Geese that runs from Sept 1-15. We encourage golf courses that have problems to just shut down for one or two week days and let the members or whomever hunt. After one or two hunts, the geese will vamoose. They do not like being harassed and learn quickly what buckshot is.

It's somewhat ironic that golf courses are being invaded by those nasty feathered varmints and requiring the help of hunters, since thousands of acres of perfectly good hunting habitat was destroyed to create those dogged golf courses.  |

The worst thing about these nasty things is that they won't poop on fairways or in the rough. They insist on doing it on the greens and tee boxes. I read that this country could kill a million of these birds a year and still have too many. The danged things have never even seen Canada. |

They're a major nuisance. Unfortunately the feds continue to have control over their eradication since they're a migratory bird, and that prevents the states from just opening up an unlimited hunting season on them. True story: Our town got a permit from the state to exterminate them from the town park and town-owned golf course. But they wound up violating terms of the permit and were fined by the game warden. I'm not sure what the stupid things are good for. They aren't even good for eating. (I've eaten some prepared by culinary masters that were okay, but I've definitely never had any luck preparing them myself.) |

You do have a local rule of getting a free drop away from goose poop, don't you?  |

I hate to admit it, but a couple years ago I saw some birds ahead of me on a four-lane road and figured they would fly out of the way, so I didn't slow down. It turns out, it was a whole family of geese. I hit the mother, and she flew over my car. Through my rear view mirror, I saw a cloud of feathers and the young chicks wandering around lost in the middle of the road. Some find this story amusing, but I felt really bad about the whole thing. It would be one thing to hit a single geese, but the little ones wandering lost in the road just really got to me.   |

You should have went back and got the goslings, raised them to maturity, built an ultralight and showed them where to migrate to. |
