Geese shot and decapitated

Her story was about pest control in B.C., you did crop protection in Ontario, perhaps there are different rules in different jurisdictions.

That could be but if my memory serves the permits were federally issued by Agriculture Canada? Or maybe it was provincially by Ontario Ministry of Agriculture? Its been a few years since I was last in use of one(2011).
 
How can I apply to do this as well? How much does it pay?

You get a farmer to put your name on their approved forms, try to be a little more discrete than this guy was.

In Ontario on the form I am on you can only use non-toxic shotgun loads and no rifle, would be a lot easier to use a 22 and 100 yards but those are the breaks.
 
Lately words like "horrified" are used more and more describing emotional impact on snowflakes especially. I would like them to be truly "horrified" just once, I bet their hearts would stop. I spent 32 years as a LEO and I can assure you I experienced a few things that were actually horrifying. This is not even close. Still I like the method of finishing the geese by pulling off the heads. Pulling a Canada Goose head off is not the easiest thing without a knife to assist.

Easy enough if you give it a twist. I remembered a 14 yo came out for his first hunt, he popped the head off most of the geese that day.

Thats what the forms I was listed on said also which another resson her story about a guy with a “rifle” sounds off. Even though it’s pest control federal migratory rules apply.
 
Last time there were reports of shots fired (at a golf course for a goose cull) in Kelowna Const Geoff Mantler drew down on the shooter and kicked him in the head as he was trying to get on the ground with arms up and spread.....

Tavares (the legal shooter) was charged and held in jail over the weekend even though he was legally permitted to do the shooting and his shotgun was unloaded and trigger locked in the vehicle he was transporting it in (more than what is required for transport of a NR shotgun).

The Supt Bill McKinnon in charge of the Kelowna Detachment has since retired but he was a piece of work. Perhaps the Supt in West Kelowna has a bit of a head on his shoulders and they did not send someone out for a perfectly legal shoot because some snowflake was traumatized.

Mantler had a couple of other incidents where he assaulted people and after this particular one was forced to leave the RCMP.

Talk of decapitated geese when I was still in my teens a goose flew close to my blind and my 20 gauge nearly took its head off and as trained to do with a goose still alive I twirled the body holding the head to wring the neck. Body dropped with head in hand and it runs off I cycle the pump and take aim but realize it's dead and it just doesn't know it yet. Clear chamber and run to it and set it on its back still trying to get away for a minute or two.

Sure this is something someone like her would be offended by, but these things happen and are normal hunting/harvest situations.
