The Canada Goose is protected under federal law in the United States primarily due to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
This was a treaty between Canada and USA, enacted to prevent more extinctions due to hunting, as happened to the passenger pigeon.
You can hunt them in the fall in most states, but you can't hunt the most annoying ones that live inside city limits year round. They do not taste great, good for dog food though.
