Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing the importance of banding and tracking geese populations by hunter harvesting rates. The author asks the question why is banding geese so important. The author states that Joe Fuller who is the Supervisor of Game & Furbearer Program says that banding helps the program to estimate the size of the geese populations. Fuller states that their banding studies show that 8 out of 10 geese are recovered by hunters. Through this practice they can determine a harvest rate for the geese that the hunters capture. The data gathered from these studies show that North Carolina has a breeding population of geese at 156,000. This population number shows that North Carolina has a stable population of geese.

The Civil War, with its attendant population growth and rise of commercial farming, helped to bring about fencing laws and end to open range.
