RICHMOND, Ky. — Hunters apparently came up empty-handed during the first day of a four-day goose hunt at Lake Reba Recreational Complex.

        None of the Canada geese were brought down, said Jason Eberle, pro at the complex's Gibson Bay Golf Course.

        City officials hope to reduce a population of 500 or so Canada geese that nest permanently at the lake. Geese have fouled the golf course, soccer fields and walking trails with their droppings.

        Mr. Eberle said that even if no birds were brought down Saturday, the hunt still helped by flushing some of the geese out of areas where they had been living.
