Ever tried to launch a boat trailer down (or up) a concrete launch ramp that geese have been resting on?

Geese are reknown for deploying stop sticks on fairways and greens.
That looks great. Seems stronger than what I have - any suggestions?
As above get a Border Collie They use them at airport runways
I wonder what the explanation is for keeping them on the protected list. They are as common as ants.
There were a couple of tee boxes at my old home course that they really liked for some reason.Needed gloves just to tee it up lol
I have some racing geese for sale if anyone would like a quick gander.

They’re “protected” in the sense that they are covered by the “Migratory Bird Convention Act”, which is an agreement between the US and Canada to insure that migratory species (birds that frequently nest in one country but over-winter in the other) are protected in that both countries agree they will take suitable measures to insure that habitats aren’t destroyed and some species likes ducks and geese aren’t over-hunted.

When I was in school, I worked a job doing a vehicle security patrol at a large pharmaceutical site on the 12 - 8 am shift. This expansive site had several large ponds with water spouts that were popular with employees having lunch. With geese too, by the hundreds.
There was also a general purpose "handyman", a Mexican fellow, who also worked the 12-8 shift, getting odd jobs done. One of which was going out to the ponds each morning before people started coming in, and firing several 12 ga "bird bomb" shells to scare away the geese.
One morning I hear him firing, so take a drive down to the pond. See him carrying 3 Canada Geese up to his van. Real nervous, tells me he has a lot of kids to feed, not a lot of $$. I just smiled, and told him I thought geese tasted pretty good too.
For the next couple weeks, each week, I would find a plucked & dressed goose in a plastic bag in the back of my PU truck at the end of my shift. Had to tell him I liked goose, but, you know, now and then...

There are some of those installed on the youth baseball fields near my home. They are surrounded by geese.
