Geese are by far my least favorite animal. I’ve never had a good encounter with one of these animals and I for one, hate them. Most people can agree that they are disgusting birds who litter yards and golf courses with feathers and bird crap. Aside from the mess they make, I had an altercation with one as a child.

When I was younger my sister’s, father and  would go fishing some weekends. These trips were always fun and I looked forward to them. I’m not sure how much we caught, because it was never about catching the biggest or most fish, but about the fun as a family. At this point in my life I hadn't begun my goose hate, but one fateful day things changed.
