When these annoying pests cross the road, they expect traffic to stop for them.

I really doubt they're quick enough to get out of the way if someone were to punch the gas instead of stopping.

I've hit a couple of them. Not much damage to my 1988 Jeep junker, but it does have a satisfying crunch.

Their just too stupid to move.

A little fishing line between posts has worked great for my father-in-law who lives on a lake. They get tired of tripping and falling on their beaks after a while.

For those who do manage to stay, they make great targets for the pellet gun...

Bagged some Quails doing 60 with my pickup truck yesterday...they were flying away from the highway as I approached then going into an S-turn, all of a sudden they did a 180 & kamikazi'd me, thump, thump, bang...my truck won that round...a big Goose is a bit different though, they weigh a bit and can do some damage at highway speed.
