Goose management plan proposed

PIERRE  (AP) — The state’s wildlife managers are taking public comment on a proposed five-year management plan for Canada geese that stay in South Dakota year-around.
 The Game, Fish and Parks Department says it’s written with the goal of providing recreational opportunities in line with a healthy goose population, habitat constraints, and what landowners and the public will tolerate.
 In some cases, big flocks of Canada geese can damage crops or are considered a nuisance in cities.
