Canadian Geese in Maryland?

[ziptop]

I'm hearing and seeing too that there aren't many geese around this year. I'm on the Eastern Shore. I heard mentioned that have been late this year, but this seems way too late, especially since it's been so cold.

Also, I know there have been a lot of geese that have stayed in Maryland year round. Have there been a lot this past summer? I wonder ehat's going on. Thank you.

Saturday was the first open day of goose hunting. Sat in my feild with all of my decoys up. Saw a small flock of about 6 fly over but was all. Well see tho.

Ha, funny you say that. I run a goose control company and this fall is a bit slow for goose numbers. Last winter was crazy slow, I never saw anything like it. I believe it was because the winter was so mild. I have accounts in New Castle county, DE too and they just started getting hit pretty hard with large numbers so I expect them to be coming into the Baltimore area next cold snap so I think we are just a few weeks behind normal this season
