We had a bunch of geese on the pond where I hunt. They would drive me crazy with their noise but I don't think it actually affected the hunting unless they became startled in which gave warning to the entire woods.
If you think there's a problem then I'd definitely remove them. If you want to eat them then I don't see anything that's a detrimental. I'd just be very stealthy about it though given possible game laws.

Last week I cut my finger pretty bad using a hand grinder and cut off disc. Stupid me.
It was healing up pretty well.
Yesterday I was out working on some projects in the pig pen and trying to move some concrete pieces when one rolled onto my already hurt finger.
Excruciating pain doesn't even describe how it felt. We took a paper clip to my nail to release the pressure and man did that help but last night the pressure rebuilt so I went and had it checked out.
Go figure, it's broken.
I just can't win for trying right now.
Our Lukas Nelson tour has been postponed and the world is getting scary.
Be well folks

Careful, HT.  A mere broken finger won't slow the fishing down.  If you can't reel them in, I'll take the bullet and do it...... hehe,. I almost  forgot you fighting cohos one after another with a steel plate in your shoulder.  Agony and ecstasy.   Sorry to hear it happened. Heal well and  fast.   Off with the spinning rod after some crappies and perch in a pretty pond in Vermont.  Being about 75%  out of commission has changed my perspective on many things.  Simple is good. A few good friends are worth a crowd of  acquaintances.  I like duck  a l'orange. pretty simple to make.  I bet those ducks change their habits after a few culls.

HT, sorry to hear of your recent troubles.  Give your finger time to heal properly but knowing you those are wasted words.  Lol

Trev, as long as you don't cut yours off, you can give me the 1 finger salute without worries, lol.
We are actually grateful not just in this time but all year for the foods we put or labor into. I actually did an inventory on what's left in our freezers and canned goods. The goal last season was to sustain till the next harvests. We are right on track so there is no buying out of the normal shopping.
I make my own dough and breads . Dough we freeze. Unbleached flour has become difficult to find now.
No idea about the tp craze other than people can't figure out how else to wipe their butt ?
We be all good here until heck freezes over or utility gets halted , then I'll just have to adapt and improvise.
Our seeds for spring planting are thriving and every single 275 garlic cloves planted in October are up well. I doubt our pigs will be an issue picking up from our farm in 2 weeks. I hope our chick delivery will be on schedule.
The thing I do miss is live entertainment and social gathering. Yes the outdoors living is awesome and relaxing but hanging out with others and supporting our live music scene having fun is going to start to take a toll. We have our usual striper run coming and our restaurant/ marina may be affected. Our yearly fathers day weekend with family on the ausable may be.
Then who knows what's going to happen st the 900 campground in Rhode island for clams.
Months being semi isolation wears on people

Well, my life has become to active at the homestead as well. Its put a lot of pressure on my recreational activities such as fishing. If I had less projects, I'd have more fishing. Is what it is lately.
Personally and a reversal of things I thought last week, I wouldn't frequent public lodging right now
Can I sleep in my tent, sure . WOULD I feel comfortable in a lodge ? Its not anyone's fault nor finger pointing but basically becoming self preservation measures and sadly at others expense. I hope this comes to pass quickly and I can visit my farmers market in spring.
Farmers are the most valuable people in the world. Homegrown is a good thing. Local grown supports community

Securing seeds and safely storing are a practicality for someone as self reliant as you have become and adds another layer of sustainability which is always good.

Ditto- been wanting to get up in early April but having issues with it due to age and preexisting condition thingies.
Would rather live to fish again  lol

Well that didn't take long.
The governor shut us down. Shelter in place order just activated

Dang Cuomo must change his mind on a minute by minute bases.

Past two days he's been quoted as saying he would not issue such orders.

Right now the press is chewing on the asz of the POTUS about "national lockdown". President says he is not in favor of national lockdown.

I for one hope our nation will not be forced into such action by the news media created panic.

Be safe, follow your own instincts.

Don’t be silly. Why that would have the country operating as it always was intended to do. 😀

If  I still had my place in Pulaski woulda been there two weeks ago for a couple of months.- Less exposure to other folks.
Annnnnd fishing lol

HT, do you have incubating ability? If you do I can get you hatching eggs for some good barnyard birds.

I remember you mentioning in other places your medical background (forget exactly what it is) and I first read this as inTubating ability.  
 
And I was like, "Dang, she's gonna give us all a lesson on how to save our own lives or the lives of loved ones with eggs and chickens."  

Thanks for serving your community in this time!

That's the issue that can tip scales and make this thing get outa hand to some degree or another.
When Emergency workers are taken outa the equation for being outright sick or under quarantine things could get sticky.

Here in CT it gets to a more serious lockdown than the one we have now on Monday.
Just took a ride around in my Truck and every grocery store-fast food place-- car dealership- tractor supply and many many many other stores have their parking lots packed to capacity.
Soooo many people packed into places close together-
-this thing is gonna really pop in  few weeks..IMHO
NYC is 90 miles away and has half he cases n the entire US. Thinking this is a danger zone and takin allthe precautions seriously.
 
Wifey and I read the tea leaves 2 weeks ago and stocked up, don't have to move for weeks.
