Thinkpad Rusty returns to his truck to leave, having depleted the flock's number by three that morning. In the back, his two dogs bark wildly, perhaps anticipating a return to finish the job.

The irony is that we went into a corn field in one of the most rural parts of the country (Northeast Kingdom) to solve a computer science problem and we wont be within miles of a computer, " he says. "Understanding computer science doesnt depend on the use computers. Its a way of thinking. Were taking challenging problems and solving them.

Laptop Computer Last year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reported 106,000 Canada geese in New Jersey, a fourfold increase since 1990.

Desktop Computer The biggest concern is their droppings. "Geese grease," as some call it, litters playing fields, parks and golf courses and degrades water quality.

Notebooks The problem is so severe that last week federal officials captured and gassed 400 geese in the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge.

Lenovo Usually, the measures taken are less extreme. The Geese Police, which drives the geese away with collies, is typical of the industry that has arisen to confront the problem.

Hard Drive Rusty's company, Doggone Goose Company, began by peddling silhouetted decoys of dogs meant to scare the geese away. Later he expanded his repertoire.

Travelstar Fish and Wildlife issues a limited number of "depredation" permits each year to reduce the geese population by killing them. The service issued 350 such permits in 2002 in New Jersey.

Gateway Rusty has six permits for six sites: Fawn Lakes, Perry's Lake, the Ocean Acres Country Club and three Monmouth County residences. Each permit is different, so at Fawn Lakes he can kill five geese per day and 100 during a year's time. At Perry's Lake, the daily number is three, and at the county club, two. He's killed about 50 since April.

Laptop Parts Plotting the course

Software It becomes apparent Tuesday morning that there is some strategy involved in hunting the geese. When Rusty arrives, the flock sits at the lake's bank, but soon retreats into the safety of the water.

Hard Drives Rusty surveys the growing distance and says: "See, they sense something isn't kosher. The shotgun reaches that far, but it isn't a good kill. I don't want them flopping around and everything."

Electronics The geese emerge on the other side, honking and shaking themselves free of the water. Rusty plans to meet them there, but just before setting out, spies the flock returning, and changes his mind.

Canon "I'm going to sneak attack, and then give it to them," he says. He then pauses and nods, "Patience is golden."

Desktop Pc Neighborhood response

Desktop Computers Rusty retrieves his gun, and by this time neighbors Al Perez, 62, and Al Solomon, 64, have taken up positions in their backyards about 40 yards away. Solomon holds binoculars to survey the battlefield.

Think Pad The men applaud his efforts. Solomon says his dog eats the droppings. They both say their grandchildren step in it when they visit.

Repair Their feelings are shared by many of their neighbors.

Data Recovery "Good. Give me the gun. I'll kill them," declares Fred Voelbel, a 63-year-old retired groundskeeper for a golf course, when Rusty explains his intentions.

Cisco Only one woman expresses dissent. When Rusty arrives at 8:10 a.m., the geese are in her backyard, and so he asks permission to fire at will. She says, "no."

Keyboard Later, she says: "Bird killer. I'm in tears. I'm torn up over this. They're so beautiful and they were here before us."

Monitor The kill

Desktop Meanwhile, Rusty is ascending a small ridge toward the flock, which is on the other side. But to his right, he spies a couple, a male and female.

Infosys This is good, he explains, because geese mate for life. Taking out a linked pair is better for the overall goal of eliminating the geese than shooting indiscriminately. "I might hit two males then," he whispers. "This way I take out the whole family - Ma and Pa."

Refurbished Laptops Rusty fires three shots, the first killing the first goose and the next two slaying the second. He then releases his dogs, Abby Lynne and Layla, who retrieve the carcasses.

Wipro A dead goose does not sink, but floats in much the same way as a live one. On land, the dead bird twitches, its legs contracting and going slack as its life force ebbs.

Lap Top Rusty says they're already dead and that is just residual energy in the nerves. Indeed, there is no pulse, but that makes the sight only slightly less disturbing.

Refurbished Success

Memory After, he decides to employ his "goose harassment techniques" on the survivors.

Intel He fires a salvo of fireworks that emit a high-pitched trill and then explode on contact with the water. The water billows around the flock suggesting a submarine being depth-charged.

As400 The dogs pursue the geese around the lake, the hard-working Layla "dogging" one harried goose for nearly 10 minutes.

Averatec Rusty has 150 accounts across five states, and this is what he does for all but the six where shooting is permitted.

Hardware This is the approach typical of his competitors, which frown on killing. Joseph Kohl, a spokesman for the Geese Police, says, "We don't want to be associated with killing geese in any way."

Dual Xeon However, there is evidence that killing proves more effective than harassment alone.

Storage Rusty has completely eradicated the geese from Ocean Acres County Club, according to General Manager Richard Taylor. Where there were originally hundreds, Rusty has difficulty finding any after nine days of hunting.

Seagate He's been so successful that he believes he might be inadvertently putting himself out of business. This is evident in one scene Tuesday morning.

Computer Sales After Rusty slays three of their number and sets bombs off all around them while his dogs chase them around the lake, two geese finally seem to have had enough.

Computer Hardware The couple, perhaps mated for life, take off, circle the lake once, and presumably head for more peaceful locales.
