We've got lots of geese around here during two parts of the year (the north-south and then south-north migrations). You walk out of your house and you almost trip over the dang things. If you get too close, they're just as likely to charge you as run away. Let 'em charge and whack their heads off with a knife. Sounds brutal, but it's an instant dinner. If you don't want to put up with a charging goose, make one of those bolo things - three rocks tied with string in a three pointed star fashion. You can easily walk up within ten feet of a goose and get it with that. Squirrels are pretty big around here too. An airgun would bag those guys. If you want "Manly Meat", go for the coyotes. They're overrunning us here (Denver metro area and surrounding towns). Jumping six foot fences in suburbia and eating pets. In my town three people have been bitten by them recently (two adults and a child). Bold critters. Shouldn't be too hard to find something to hunt them with. A stick would do it. We used to have lots of rabbits and raccoons around here. But they're gone now - I think the foxes ate them. We used to find foxes lounging around in our yard. But not anymore. I think the coyotes ate the foxes. We have the occasional mountain lion that wanders into town (I'm not sure I'd want to mess with trying to shoot one of them though). When the lions hear about the coyote population explosion, they'll probably come on down and eat those. Bears are rare, but do make it down here. I don't think they could catch the lions however. And I'm sure not planning on shooting a bear for lunch.

I have two, one million gallon city water tanks behind my house. I wonder if a battery powered hand drill would get through their walls? Drill it, tap it, and use a spare machine screw as your on/off valve.
