A total of.2,822 geese (1,144 adults and 1,683 young) were trapped at 56 sites <br /> and transported elsewhere. Oklahoma took 400 adults and Mississippi 744 for release <br /> on their wildlife areas. The goslings were transported to Minnesota sites, mostly in <br /> the north, and released. <br /> The crews trapped 95% of the geese they attempted to capture. In spite of the hot <br /> weather. mortality during capture and transport was very low (3 birds) and similar to <br /> previous years. <br /> The locations, dates, and number of geese captured at Silver Lake were: <br /> Location Date Young Adults Total <br /> SILVER LAKE 6/19/91 12 11 23 <br /> The bill for the removal is $1,000.
