A game refuge?!?!?!?! Do you realize what you said? If it is a REFUGE, that means you can not hunt it, it is a refuge for them to sit and feed, prean and loaf WITHOUT being bothered. And just because it has water does not mean geese will be there.
I have ponds/lakes here that I have never seen geese on for the 15 years I have lived here, even during the migration period. 1 of those lakes are around 5 acres and totally overgrown with cattails and brush up to the edge and geese won't sit on a pond like that if they can't get off the water and go to land to clean, rest and loaf. I bowhunt just off that lake.
