Perhaps it's the humans who are the problem - not the geese !

Great story but do eskimos really have or need a deep freeze?

We are not fooled by these tales of Eskimos - its all an elaborate decoy. Take a look in the Tiree fridges I say!

It is obvious to say the least that you are a friend to the wild geese. These days there are many friends around who take an interest in natures birds and creatures- a good thing, this is indeed, I maintain.
As regards my article, geese are a problem in numerous parts of Scotland. Mans part in this I don't know, but his part in nature being upset as a whole is quite obvious when you consider aspects-well known of late-as climate change etc.But this does not alter the fact that when matters get out of hand, action must be taken.People who live on the land must not and will not let something that has developed to something almost equal to a vermin take over. I am very fond of birds,But we musn't let those
that have reached destructive
proportions take over.
Man so far is in authority on this palnet,flawyed as this may well be.

I,m glad that you liked the story.
Eskimos are pretty up to date these days, and in spite of all the snow and ice around them deep freezeses must be quite an appropriate advantage in their modern houses. I find the word reservation a bit difficult to come to terms with.But for a final word,eskimos no longer stay in igloos,except when on hunting expeditions and stay away from home for any length of time. well,deep freezeses,yes, can't do without them!!!

I'm not fooled by these eskimo stories either, but believe them absolutely. If you can find a more capable person on his own territory than the eskimo, you'll go a long way.
As regards there being a decoy, I shall for the moment keep my tongue firmly in my cheek.
Tiree fridges, the skip(dump) is full of them, and the new ones are smashing.

I have a cunning plan.
Keep domestic geese,the conditions must be right for them otherwise why do the wild ones thrive so well. Being territorial they'll keep the wild ones away and they make good eating.
I'll let you know if it works.
Mongrel from The blanket in the porch
If the geese no longer migrate, there is likely a problem at the other end of their migration path, possibly a human interference again. Perhaps the cunning Mongrel's idea of domestic geese could force the wild ones to find another migration destination - if any exist. Plus geese migrating overhead are an amazing site worth preserving.
