On Fri. afternoon, I will be assisting the State in a Goose tagging program on Cooper River, in Camden Co. We do this every year. We will catch anywhere from 50 - 250 birds. They will be leg banded and released. Those that are already banded, will have their info recorded, then be released.
At this time of year, the geese are molted out, which limits their flying ability. They are herded onto the embankments with Kayaks, where they are contained in pens until they are banded. It's a "REAL" fun job  The will bite you, scratch you, and poop (edited) all over you. And it NEVER washes out of your clothes.
Two years ago, 2 of our geese were recovered above the Artic Circle. Here's a few shots from last year. Note ** The geese are not harmed in any way by this procedure, except their pride, when they are checked for their "sex" 
In the pen 
Is it a he or she ?? 
Recording the info on a previously banded bird, prior to it's release. 
We have alot of volunteers that assist us. __________________ President-UXBNJ

Most of these are resident Geese, not commuters 
They never leave. I hear Corsine is trying to tax them for living here. If he does, then they will leave like the rest of us __________________ President-UXBNJ

my .02 cents.
Early season geese are crap! NOTHING but chem lawn feeedersLOL second season & late season they have been feeding on corm & non toxic foods. Those are the ones that taste good |

Maybe someone could find a way to grind and refine them into OIL & GAS so we could rule the world.

The best way I have found to cook them is:
1) Grill chunks of goose breast which is wrapped in bacon. 2) In a stew. Cube up breast meat and add in vegetables and enough cream of celery/mushroom soup to cover. Simmer until everything is cooked. David __________________ NJ... Where fun comes to die!

The best way to get rid of them is to sneak up on them and roll a grenage in the middle of them...KABOOM! BYE BYE BIRDIES! __________________ Vice President
