Geese, Geese, and more dang Geese!!!!
I don't know if I'm the only one who finds these pesty critters annoying, but every year from around now till the snow flies, these birds really make
a complete mess of all my favorite kite places. They really seem to zero in on every soccer field in a 100 mile radius. The droppings get on the
shoes, gets on the kites and in some instances gets on the clothes with an occasional fall. Cant seem to figure out why there are so many stupid
geese that just won't fly south for the winter! There's literally hundreds that just like to stay here all year long. I know that it's their home
too, but it just gets really old after awhile. Anybody else have bird issues at their flying spots.
Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now! Had to vent.

They seem to have no problem visiting us here in DE. But with the amount of protected wetlands around here, we are not going to get rid of them any
time soon! They have been hitting our flying fields as well!

saw them ,now they are everywhere.

Good one Nick! Maybe I should hit the drawing board my self to make Goose
deflector bumper! Sort of like they put on trains to protect them from wildlife!

At least horse crap is solid and can be seen for the most part. Goose is slimy sticky crap and is invisible until you step on it and your feet slip
out from under you and you fall on your butt in yet another vile pile.
Best weapon wrist rocket with 1/4 inch steel balls. No sound and very effective at dispering one at a time.
