Coyote Decoys

     We will be experimenting with Coyote Decoys (photo at lakefront) around our water features and other areas on the golf course where geese are present.  We have 3 of these coyotes which will be moved around daily, with the goal of moving the geese out of the areas.  Switching the locations of the coyotes gives the geese an impression of an active predator moving around the golf course. 
     The geese are a smaller problem for us during the spring while they are trying to nest.  During late summer the geese show up in larger numbers, creating maintenance issues.
