Hey Ranger!
Even if you don't shoot them, harrassing the geese will help keep them away. We don't hunt ponds more than once every week for fear of the geese not comming back.
How far away from your house are the geese? When out of season you can use some of those "pop boom" shotgun shells that will fire a small explosive like an m80 firecracker over to where the geese are.
We don't pluck the geese. Just expose the breast & remove two very nice filets! Great bbq'd!
