When we bought our place (with 2 ac +- pond) we counted 140+ geese at one time. At that time there were horses on the pasture and it was eaten down to almost nothing. It seemed that the geese liked the location as much for the pasture as the water. Since then the horses moved next door ( which has 3 approx 1 1/2 ac ponds), I let our pasture grow up to the point that it is difficult for them to walk and graze and the geese have left. We have 2 that seem to hang around but we also have a varmit - fox or coyote - that keeps them in check.
