There have been a few articles locally commenting on the apparent explosion in urban geese in Vancouver. The city has an active addling program that apparently has been on hold because of COVID. Of course there is no political way the cities would allow hunting in the various parks but then I thought why not allow egg harvesting? Apparently the First Nations did so traditionally (as well as netting the adults during moulting season).
Beyond the politics of this, is there any reason why this couldn't work? Are goose eggs not good? From my search apparently goose eggs have a stronger taste - no different from how wild fowl differs in taste from farmed fowl then?
Of course collecting eggs will make geese lay another clutch. If so, then extend the theoretical collecting season?
