We'll gladly give you some of our NJ Resident Canada geese!  You'll
NEVER get rid of those!

NJ state govt. issues them green cards and won't let anyone shoot them.
They're actually a different variety from the migratory Canadas
- slightly larger & they never migrate.  They just sit around, getting
fat and happy at NJ farmer's expense, leaving poop everywhere.  They
even have larger clutches than the migratory ones, so their numbers are
out of control.

The problem is so bad that a new "predatory" species has evolved -- the
flat black dog.  You see these plywood hounds on any large lawn,
especially if there's water there.  Apparently, they discourage the
flocks from landing.  And they don't eat much, nor bark, nor shit.

OTOH, if MO already has resident geese, you can attract all you want
with a Megagoose decoy.  (See para. 3 of
http://ezinearticles.com/?Focus-on-Goose-Decoys&id=3275409, for
example.)
