I had just picked up my son at school and was on my way home. I was heading east and two geese stepped off the curb on the opposite side of the street. Around here, the geese walk around with the confidence of a New York pigeon. I didn't notice if the oncoming car slowed down for them, but I had plenty of time to pass them before they walked into my lane. Wouldn't you know it, just at the last minute, one of them decides to take flight and I take it in the grill of my Chevy Silverado at about 40 MPH. Even before I can say anything, my 10 year old son says, "What the heck was that about? They never fly." It seemed to keep flying, so I didn't stop. About an hour later, we were heading back the other way and I saw it laying on the sidewalk. I wish I felt bad about it, but I hate them damn birds. When is the DNR going to allow Urban Goose Hunting? |

Yeap!.... around here they "think" they own the parking lots, sidewalks, , or just about any peice of land they want!...... I personally think its time to start thinning the flock so to speak!...... there are too damn many of them sidewalk shitting, meaner then a snake geese!...... You cant walk into the mall without stepping in goose shit, or being chased by them.... ( by the way, a ASP baton will adjust their attitude!!  )hopefully there was minimual damage to your truck.... COLT! |
Your lucky, I hit a chicken about 10 years ago, messed up my grill big time. I was maybe going 25-30 mph. Chickens never fly either....
