From Idaho Department of Fish and Game:

46 Geese Shot and Left in Town’s Dumpsters

Somebody apparently shot 46 geese on Saturday, October 4, and dumped them in three Dumpsters in City Park in Soda Springs.

The dead geese were found in Dumpsters along East 1st South the following day, on Sunday, October 5.

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is looking for information about the killing and wasting of the geese. Officials suspect the geese were shot over decoys in grain fields or from boats on or around Blackfoot Reservoir. The exact location is unknown. Officials suspect several people were involved.

After investigating, Fish and Game officers determined that the geese were unsalvageable.

Landowners who had requests from large parties for permission to hunt over the weekend are encouraged to provide any information.

Anyone with any information regarding this incident, please contact Conservation Officer Brandon Chamberlin, at 339-3520 or the Fish and Game region office at 232-4703. To remain anonymous, call the Citizens Against Poaching hotline at 1-800-632-5999. Callers may be eligible for a reward.

Hang them by their gonads! It is hard enough to defend hunting, and some low life does this!

A lot of good meat wasted.......

With all the efforts of people who work hard to defend hunting we are ultimately our own worst enemies. A hundred thousand good deeds will be undone by one idiot such as this! One thing's for sure, 46 geese by one party is not going to be a secret. Now let's see if anybody has the decency to speak up.

I'm leaving Thursday to join a friend from Bosie for a week in Saskatchewan hunting waterfowl. A group of Americans from another state are usually there the same time we are and try to give away or get rid of all the waterfowl they kill.

For the life of me I can't figger why. Ducks and geese are tasty the way I prepare and eat them. I wish I could say, "To each his own." but I just don't think thats right. Were I along with the folks that wanted to put all the Idaho geese in the dumpster, I'd have taken them all right to my freezer and gladly.
