Bad luck for this goose . . . this shot in and of itself is nothing, but the detail shown on the leg, is most unusual, at least for me. I felt better not knowing.

But I think the value of one goose to the state not enough to get up off of their duffs. Just my thoughts on them. "With Some Practice . . .

Traps are often pretty close to the road and I know more than one person whose family dog has ended up in a trap! Avalanche!!! And Other Alaska Images

My wife can give a heck of a phone call, lol. Anyway, who knows . . . they might pull it off. We can hope at least and all that could be done was . . . It will make a good story on the the ten o'clock news for them. "With Some Practice . . . I Am Able to Believe Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast!"

I guess it don't matter much. But it does give a new meaning to the old 'Ball and Chain.' "With Some Practice . . . I Am Able to Believe Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast!"

I'd love to be the guy sitting and waiting for the scumbag returning to check his trap so I can take it and attach it to his balls. Cloverdale Photography
