If you provide a feeding opportunity for wildlife.
Even when you kill off what is there... a new animal will discover the opportunity.

You absolutely haven't learned to ignore anyone!

That's fair.

But we have had fields that run all the way to the water for decades, and no real geese problem.

So I am going to keep advocating the liberal policy of bringing back the opportunity to hunt them. Open those off limit zones, and let those of us that have hunted in the past return to what we do.

You can hunt Geese in NH. Requires a variety of state and federal paperwork that is very achievable (in addition to the proper NH hunting license requirements).

The licensing and tags have been the same for decades with only minor changes.
It is the areas that are open to harvesting that are shrinking.

I equate it roughly to the island deer situation.
