		Ohh that would hurt.  I do love it when you shoot and then land close to you, but this was a bit to close for comfort.

		I was not paying attention Saturday morning and got nailed by a cinnamon teal.  Hit me right in the back and that hurt and left a bit of a bump.  I can only imagine what a goose would feel like.

		[shocked]One time while water skiing at Lake Mead while I was way off to one side of a boat I skiied right into a huge carp that jumped out of the water.  I think I did about a half dozen turns in the air before I even hit the water.  I was out of commission for a couple of days after that.  Dang near broke my let.  Mr. J.

		I landed a pin in my buddies lap last saturday.  He saw it coming and tried to kick it out of the way.  It was pretty funny.  I have heard of broken bones, and even some deaths with such goose encounters.
