    Do y'all corn pond owners have trouble with the resident geese?

    I ain't no goose expert but it seems to me with all the resident geese we got that if they found a corn pond they'd camp out there until they ate all the corn. I know they like to field feed on grass but I also know they're opportunists and if they find easy feed they'll stay on it till they clean it out. And it seems like they'd start in on a corn pond as soon as you started flooding it.

    Just wondering if anyone has a problem with them?

    I would think they wouldnt want to land in something that thick, but I bet they'd give flooded millet hell.

    i don't think so, my reason being they like green to eat, resident birds, that is. now if the corn was young they might go there, but never have seen many around here do it. seems to tough for them, seems they rather munch on soft grass or veg. like a hay field or such.

    They will walk the row on corn when it first comes up and wipe it out.
    It was a three dog night, and I ain't got but one dog, me and him both damn near froze.

    It usually takes them two years to get over an ass stomping in a corn pond.

    No,they are not much of a problem.

    I'm not sure about geese, but the guys that I used to hunt with up in NC had problems with swans by the thousands. They put hogwire in between the flooded corn and the open water and said that the swans would not be as likely to land in the standing corn.
    Kill them all...
