Chris Matt invites me goose hunting because I knew how and where. I had no permit so I watched from car. He drove us around the Horicon Marsh farm dirt roads until we saw a flock of geese feeding in a farm field. No land was posted as the farmers wanted them to leave. We park 200 yards from flock. I told him the secret was to walk down street, not turn his head to look at the geese, but rather to look out of corner of eye facing forward like he is just walking down the street. So he is maybe 50 yards off they spook and fly away but three flew overhead, quite high. He downs one on third shot and brings it to car. I pulled my .22 pistol from my bag and told him the geese were tough, steel shot poor killer, and shoot it in head allowing the over penetration to just go into dirt road. He said several excuses for not doing that. I told him over and over to use the .22 He puts goose into a paper bag in trunk of his "pride and joy" month old 1986 Pontiac BMW lookalike. We drive to a favorite bar with view of marsh and great steak sandwiches. After a few beers someone opens the door and yells out "Who's got a black Pontiac? Something making a hell of a racket in the trunk."
Yeah! Goose was nowhere near dead. It torn up paper bag; then the wiring, sound insulation, crapping and bleeding all the time. After he checked, he asked to use my 22.
First of many dumb things he did.
