your immune sysyem is compramised it's best to stay in the
cellar, like Fat Harry does, and take your chances with radon
gas.

I will admit to walking in a lot of goose **** on the course.

Wouldn?t that be bombarded with Bird Flu?

We have a gaggle of 30 or so that winter on the golf course. There's a
small lake on the course, so
the fairways around the lake get pretty well fertilized with goose
****. They don't do much flying,
other than coming in and leaving again. They've pretty much departed
the area, so the fear of flying
bird flu **** is gone...for now.

Where I play it is Sandhill Cranes.

I've read that as winters have warmed up, the cranes are wintering more
northwards. You may be seeing fewer of them.

I am not sure the ones who find a nice home, like a golf course,
really migrate. I know the Canada Geese that lived at National Geo in
Gaithersburg stayed in that lake year round.


I thought they had an extra goose hunting season in parts of the northeast
for the non migration birds.

Don't know what happened to this, but I hope it got adopted. We need to get rid
of a lot of those pests.

Times get tough, a pellet gun will feed the family a lot of goose.

I am not sure you could kill a goose with a pellet gun. It wouldn't
penetrate the feathers on the body and a head shot would be tough if
they were walking around.


Lots of powerful pellet guns these days. Close to a 22. And they stand
around enough to get head shots.

Well, now that you mention it! Besides, most of the *******s will let you get
pretty close to them before walking away.

I always thought I could catch one of the National Geo geese with my
bare hands. People fed them all the time and if you looked like you
had a handful of dry corn or something they would try to take it out
of your hand. I just thought it was a lot of work cleaning and
plucking for a greasy goose. It might be good in the Treager tho. ;-)


The wild geese are not greasy. May even need a larding needle, or moist
cook. Breast actually do a good chicken fried steak method.

I'd try one roasted, but not smoked. Chicken fried sounds like a pretty good way
to do it.
