He committed a fowl.
A hunter in the Canadian Arctic ruffled the feathers of a group of student “goose detectives” after he killed and ate one of the birds the youngsters were tracking from more than 3,500 miles away.
Devon Manik, an Inuit hunter, made a meal of the goose after shooting it dead, unaware that students in Dungarvan, Ireland had tagged about 100 brent geese for a school project to monitor the species’ flight path as it migrated between Ireland and the polar region, according to The Irish Times.
Manik said the waterfowl trek to the area in June and lay their eggs, providing a hearty meal for his mother and grandmother who “really love geese.”
“It tasted good,” Manik told the outlet.
“The reason why we hunt today is because it’s so expensive to live up here [in Arctic Canada]. Without hunting all of the food has to be shipped up. We hunt the geese subsistently as they are passing by.”
The fourth grade students from St. Mary’s Primary school for girls were working with scientists from the University of Exeter to track the migration path of the small, dark goose species that spend their winters in Ireland before flying to northwest Canada to breed, the outlet reported.
The bird then returns to the Irish shores with its gosling.

pass me through the window, a beer.
The hunter found the device and removed it.

The migration path led directly into the sights of the hunter. If someone is gonna make a near pet out of animals, choose animals that aren’t dinner fare so as to avoid the “heartache” of seeing the tracked species served up for supper
That sounds delicious. 😊
From the headline I thought the hunter was killed.
Let’s eat Grandma.
Let’s eat, Grandma.
Commas save lives!
The hunter lives, but his goose was cooked.
“Why don’t they just get their food at the supermarket like everyone else does?”
Send them the wishbone.
Poorly written headline - the hunter was NOT killed.
Exactly! Project complete. Life cycle recorded. Write it up and turn it in. Celebrate at McDonalds...
