After clearing around the pond at the new place, and getting grass going, Geese have naturally found the pond. Had 3 of them stick around for about a week, then a couple more joined. Tried harrassment by walking up at them, chunking rocks nearby, etc....it just annoyed them, and they'd go to the far end of the pond.

Looked online for cures. Most of the decoy/predator clones only work a little while (swan pair, alligator head, coyote, etc) before the geese figure out they are just plastic.

Then, I read about green lasers. For some reason, geese are terrified of a green laser dot. I got on ebay and bought the brightest chi-com green laser I could find, only about 25 bucks. It makes a visible dot on the ground from a couple hundred feet away in broad daylight. Point it on the ground near the geese, and slowly work up to them....they'll squawk and paddle/fly down a ways....follow them, and they'll take off flying towards the opposite side....have the green dot waiting for them there, and they'll circle, then fly off to another pond.

(Red lasers won't work, is what I read...only green).

If you have a problem with geese, give this a shot...works for me.
 
My cousin is going to love this! Certain times of the year she might have 100 or more between her and her neighbor that share a large pond. Helluva sight!
 
Goose also makes a fine meal.

Anyone tried a poly tipped 17HMR? I'm just curious... really curious.

There was a rather humorous article in the local new recently, I live in a county that is mostly rural but in last 5 years has had a lot of suburban growth around small farms etc (familiar story?)
A group of new-to-the-suburbs neighbors were complaining about a guy that uses one of these to run off birds that are pecking his crops. Complaining about the noise at wee hours etc.
His response: "In place of the cannon, I'm willing to let any of y'all to come out and run off the birds yourself. Look out for ticks and don't tread my crops. Otherwise - deal with it. But I gotta ask - why did you move next to a farm?"
 
Shameless plug...I may or may not have any vested interest in said plug at all....just saying. :D

If the laser doesn't work, well...you have plan B attached!

They'll clamp on to any 1913 Picatinny, S&W, Glock, or Beretta rail system.
