Hunter Knocked Out By Flying Goose Shot By His Son
POSTED: 10:26 am EDT October 6, 2005
STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- A Swedish hunter spent two days in bed after being knocked unconscious by a Canada goose that landed on his head moments after his son shot it dead.
The goose had been flying about 60 feet in the air when it was shot by Carl Johan Ilback, who was hunting with his father, Ulf, along a stream in eastern Sweden.
When the goose dropped from the sky, it hit Ulf Ilback in the head and knocked him out, he said.
"It wanted to extract its revenge, I assume," Ulf Ilback told local newspaper Extra Ostergotland on Wednesday. "If it had gotten a better hit, it could have broken my neck."
Ilback spent two days in bed with severe headaches before returning to work.
"The story brought about a lot of laughter at work," he said.
He added that during this month's moose hunt, he may wear a helmet.

Technically, it was a falling goose, not a flying goose. A flying goose, of course, has meaning beyond the scope of this post.

Hunter Knocked Out By Flying Goose Shot By His Son That's pretty harsh, don't you think? I mean, your dad gets knocked out by a flying goose and for that you shoot him?

Funny. But not funny. Ok, funny.
Similar story told from Nebraska. New truck. Early morning goose hunting that resulted in very few shots. Walking back to new truck when 4 or 5 geese break over the trees. Shots fired. At least 1 goose hit, falling, falling, BOOM. Landed right in the middle of the hood of a truck that still had the temp tags on it.

Would this qualify as a "Cheese, Goose, Sister" thread?
