can i still kill a canadian goose?

I see these birds around my neighborhood almost every day.
They look like fat chickens.
Probably they taste like them too?

So, I live in the United States — is it legal for me to kill one?
Do I need a license or anything?
I don’t have a gun so I’m planning to trap them using the plastic rings from the top of a 6-pack of beer to see if one will get their beak wedged in, and then I’m going to knock it out with an aluminum bat.
I watch a lot of Food Network so I figure I can probably clean/dress the bird myself.
Any suggestions?
Yeah the idea for the rotisserie chicken is a good idea.
Unfortunately I am unemployed (not to mention unemployable) and cannot afford one.
Geese are plentiful in my area and free.
Plus Tuna eat other fish and they don’t taste like rotten fish.

Thanks for all of your help. . . . . .

What you propose is illegal, and unethical.

You need a hunting license, can only hunt in specified areas, and only during hunting season (fall). Trapping is not permitted. Luring with bait is not permitted. Hunters must use firearms, or other approved methods.

All native birds are protected by Federal Law. Any activities involving native wild birds, including hunting, are regulated and require licensing.

I bet you taste like chicken.
