Not to worry about feeling bad, he actually sent 3 people to the ER when they attached him . Tough ole goose indeed. Funny, they are domestics here in the states.

There are very close domestic relatives for sure.
No doubt wild eggs were taken and hatched and over time breeds developed.
 
Great post, @Britsmoothy ! You could write some shooting stories for the hunting column in Muzzleloader magazine. I think I've read at least one from Australia, and one recently about a hunt in Argentina. Your stories would be very well received. We Americans tend to insulate ourselves in some ways. It would be great to get more blackpowder hunting stories from the rest of the world.

That's a really good photo of the bird, too. Did you take it?

Great photo and beautiful birds. Its been years since I've hunted geese, but, the anticipation of watching and listening to them coming in low is unforgettable. Thanks for sharing and the extra info.

All the best, Skychief.
 
brit, your geese post got me to thinking of past eastern shore canada hunts, there is nothing like setting out the spread in the dark, getting in the blind with the labs and your best friend awaiting the lift with the first rays of dawn, the dogs sense that it is about too happen you can feel them tense as they sit up against you, the first flight is always the best for me as they come too the set with wings cupped too the call, the guns going off and if your fortunate a folded goose in the spread, like a flash the lab is on him proudly brings it back lays it at your feet and patiently awaits his reward, now on the other hand you miss a good shot and the dog looks at you with that how you manage that look. Gun smoke,wet labs and feathers now there s a good time for you.

Ohhh I don't know about writing for a magazine, I don't do anything that interesting.
Yes sir I took the photo of the goose.
I often carry a bridge camera.
