We're doing our bit here in the north end of the Mississippi flyway.
We have a spring hunting season as well as a fall one and I can hunt
15 per day during the season. My Chipewyan BIL, being Indigenous Aboriginal with treaty rights, has no such limit. He can take as
many as his freezer will hold.
... Since tomatoes are fruit, ketchup must be a smoothie.

I'd think even 15 a day would tend to fill up the freezer

One does not get 15 or any at all on any given day. Wild geese are
smart and have excellent eyesight. They are easily spooked and will
fly over a blind and go on to the next lake to land.

This time of year, we see large flocks of geese (is that a gaggle?) nibbling on the lawns in a variety of places. It looks like one
could easily walk up to them and twist the neck. Or at least hit
them from 20 feet with a slingshot or other primitive weapon. I
them from these are the same geese that fly up towards and past you.

They are nearly as big a pest as the permanent residence gulls which abound in fats food parking lots, etc. And a darned sight more tasty.

Here the gulls seem to be more prevalent around large parking lots such
as at Walmart. They are bold enough to look at you so much as to say
"you talking to me?!" when one approaches them wanting to drive down
the lane.
I also recall the gulls at the lobster pound, Abbots, in Mystic CT. As was said on the sign inside, if you eat on the deck make sure you guard your lobster.

They are migratory and pass through twice a year. Their nesting
grounds are even further north than here. The hunting season pretty
much coincides with when they're here.

I was in Monaco and two young women were walking along munching and blabbing. A gull swept in over the shoulder of one of them, and
snatched her sandwich out of her hand.

They are smart enough to know where they are hunted and where they
are safe (so are deer and a lot of other animals). And many of them
stop migrating south as soon as they find a body of water that
doesn't freeze over. More and more they don't fly north in the
summer either but remain resident all year long.

Nope. I'm in the Mississippi flyway and you're in the Atlantic one.

BTW, I do not think that I have ever eaten goose. If offered on a
buffet I would try it, but cannot see us attempting to cook a whole
goose. I have tried duck at a restaurant, but was neither put off nor thrilled by it.
