Thanks Angel. Her name is Josey and she is a real sweetheart. She is 2 1/2 years old and a great family dog but also loves to hunt. Spoiled rotten in the house, of course.
I took her pheasant hunting recently and she did great even though she had never seen one before. I didn't scold her on the goose, just encouraged her to try again. She is kind of a sensitive girl yet can be stubborn. She is the only dog I have trained that has never broken shot, knock wood! Too bad I no longer compete because she is really a nice one. |

That's a hell of a Canada! Is that one of the sub-species called the "Giant Canada Goose"?

Yes Dean, they established those around here many years ago and they do not migrate. We have a lot of migratory geese of various sizes, and I prefer those. These big guys are usually only fit for jerky, but this one feels quite fat. We will see when I clean it.

My experience with those big guys is that they are so tough you can't cut the gravy with a chain saw

I've probably told this on here before, but I like it so I'll tell it again.
Dad and I doubled up on one years ago that was big as a damn swan. I weighed it on the deer check station legal scale and it tipped them at 19 3/4 pounds. If you don't believe me ask the old man, he couldnt believe it either.

Peter I haven't forgotten you on that large size bismuth, I just have to get around to digging through the 10 gauge horde to see how much I have.
