Nevertheless I am glad to be in such a place, for the geese are not only interesting to watch, they have things to teach us and are among God’s favored creatures.Shotgun: Shotgun, c. My feelings are not shared by everyone because a significant increase in the goose population, and their consequent occupation of residential yards and public facilities, causes some people to view them as a nuisance.
So, our area is not a normal breeding area, but every year we have a few nesting pairs near our domicile.Geese tend to be monogamous and to stay with their mates for the long term. I understand that non-migratory birds are more common these days in places where the winter is not exceptionally cold and some open water may persist through the season.

For migratory birds, the young geese stick with ma and pa goose until their return to the nesting area in the following year.Very shortly after the hatch, we will see the family travelling in single file, one adult in front, one in back, and the goslings perfectly lined up between them. These little yellow-tan fuzz balls are immediately able to walk, swim, and find their own food, but they are family oriented and they will stay with their parents for a long time. The pair watches over the nest until the goslings hatch out in a little more than three weeks.
The adults often go through a flightless molting period while this is happening, so they all are then able to zoom through the sky together and will be ready for migration when they want to move.This sight of the family group steaming quietly by our dock never fails to make me feel humble, for it is a sign that nature is working as it should, and in wondrous ways. In 40 – 70 days the young will fledge and begin to fly. Although males are usually a little bigger than females, they tend to choose mates of similar size, and their marking is very similar so they are a little hard to tell apart.Sometimes two or three broods hang out together while the goslings are growing. I don’t know if the lead is ma or pa goose, or if they trade.
If one gets weak and is taken by disease or by a bald eagle, that is part of the natural order. They have no unemployment benefits. They have no health insurance. They find their own food, grasses and grain, and some aquatic organisms. They take care of themselves.
We got it out on the farm whenever the big medicine was needed. Best for me, I think, would be a blind with some decoys and a good goose call in a cornfield near a sizable body of water.The gun I would use would be a family heirloom, a double-barreled, twelve gauge shotgun handed down from my dad. Today, with good populations of Canadas and generous seasons, I think goose hunting could be very interesting and rewarding. Nevertheless, if some geese had put down to feed in our cornfields, I would have been mighty interested. Rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, pheasants, an occasional bob white, crows, and predator pests were my favorite targets. Growing up as I did in the flat, waterless farm country of central Illinois, I did not enter a family tradition of waterfowl hunting.

You must expect that you will have to bring your goose down with shells costing several dollars apiece.A rundown of available, non-toxic shells at this point would make this post even more boring, so I will simply say that Cabela’s web site has a good description of the available alternatives and they sell a lot of them.
