I'm afraid I would have reacted much differently. If I had been walking I would knocked him silly with my (weighty) backpack. If I were in your car, I would have gone back for a weapon.

I wouldn't use anything on a goose. Years and years ago. I saw a pair of geese together. Like a total asp hole, I ran to give them some bread. The male came at me with neck outstretched and wings ready to smack the life out of me. I picked up a large branch and every blow bounced off him like nothing. He bit me on the knee cap. I couldn't believe a toothless bird could raise such a big bruise. Okay he won that round.No more bread for them.

Ducks are still welcome, they take the bread and I put out water for them and they dunk it and then eat it.

I’m darn glad this wasn’t a goose! I can’t imagine this little sh...er...bird’s fury with a goose’s size!! I’ll bet that hurt like getting hit with a baseball bat!! As it is I can hardly wait to see the bruising tomorrow. Guess it’ll be a lot of makeup, a long-sleeved formal in the Arizona heat, and I’ll be standing....a lot. I honestly didn’t realize the one on my hiney broke the skin until I was getting ready for bed a bit ago and asked Ken to check it because it was starting to hurt too. (Hey, don’t judge - we’re married!) :lau As far as reacting with a weapon, well, we were in the Shoshone National Forest, on top a mountain, with all of its federal rules about harassing wildlife, at the beginning of tourist season with cars whizzing by. Um, gotta be a little careful about playing Whack-a-Mole with the Grouse in front of witnesses. ;)
