Looks like it may have gotten something stuck around its neck for a long period of time. Ended up leaving a nasty sore. Poor guy.

It's a collar.
I googled "Canada Goose collar" and it looks like you're right! I've never seen one tagged like that before.

Yeah, I've seen geese with collars like that - I assume it's a way of banding them. I recall seeing numbers on them.

That's what it's for. They're a lot easier to see than leg bands.Yeah, I've seen geese with collars like that - I assume it's a way of banding them. I recall seeing numbers on them.
