While that's going on, you can decoy the maximas with a piece of foam rubber
taped to your hat, cut to look like a slice of Wonder Bread, and shoot them
with a .410 and cylinder choke. d8-)

Those geese are a nuisance in these parts. They're so bold they think
they can bluff a pickup truck on the way to Wal-Mart.

They do step smartly when their bluff is called.

No gun needed to harvest these varmints, a machete would suffice.
