And let the Canada geese bombard you with Corona virus? No way. If
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. ;-)

While in Germany I bought a goose to fix for Christmas dinner. Geese are popular
in Germany around Christmas. I smoked it on a Brinkman I had out on the balcony.
Smoked the ******* for about 10 hours. It was beautiful.

Then we sat down to eat. My daughter, 12 years old, took a bite and spit it out
into her plate. That ****ed me off, so I sent her to her room until she could
come back and display some manners.

Then I took a bite. Took about two chews and spit it out. Horrible stuff. Don't
ever smoke a goose! All that fat just stays there. Atrocious ****!

So I humbly called my daughter back, apologized profusely, and ended up fixing
hamburgers for Christmas dinner.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
