• A federal permit is required. We can assist you in filing these forms.
• In some states, permits may take up to 7 months to obtain, plan early.
• Your permit will limit the number of geese you are allowed to remove.
• Non lethal techniques must have been employed first.
• Prior to a round up, egg addling may also be required (requires a permit).
• Many states no longer allow translocation of geese.  Most translocated geese will return.
• Most round ups take place during the non flying molting season in June / July but round ups          of flying geese at other times in the year may be possible.
• Euthanasia of geese is performed with cool CO2 gas (the same gas in soda pop). This procedure is painless, fast and humane. This method is approved by the federal and state wildlife agencies as well as NWCOA and the AVMA.
• Harvested geese are an excellent source of meat protein and readily accepted by most food banks. Processing the geese for meat may be expensive and a challange.
• A round up may not always be a cure all but this service can greatly assist your integrated goose management program and significanltly reduce resident flock size and associated flock problems.
