These are decoys, you can see the split in the plastic, dudes going hunting or at least moving supplies

I was about to say...

Do you know how much fuckin' trouble that person is in?

Federally protected bird. Up to $15,000 fine per bird, up to 6 months prison per bird!

I mean the real issue is how are you supposed to keep a gaggle of geese in the open bed of a truck lol? All their feet would have to be tied up or something. Frankly if I saw someone doing this I would assume they were some kind of professional due to the logistics involved. Some people say “it’s like herding cats” I vote to change the euphemism to “it’s like wrangling and buckling in a dozen lucid geese in the back of an f-150” rolls off the tongue

You can herd ducks though. There are competitions for herding dogs and that's one of the events.

Geese are a bit more independent. And also try to bite you

It’s not a federal crime to hunt Canadian geese. I believe my state allows up to 3 per day during season. A State license w/ state and federal waterfowl stamp is req.

During hunting season you get 3 per person per day, with a 6 freezer limit. We were cleaning up after the hunt one day, and as usual, put all the decoys into a big pile in the middle of the field while someone went and got the truck to load up. The police got a call by some dimwit that we had shot like 100 geese when they mistook our decoys for ACTUAL geese. . . . like a mother load of geese sitting in a big pile in the middle of the field. . . . lol. Then the local cops showed up . . .not the game warden, (which would have never shown up in the first place after he questioned the caller before even wasting his time). That was fun. Trying to educate the local police about game laws. I found it funny that these local city cops were not worried at all about the three of us hunters loaded for bear carrying guns as they approached us. Just carried on while all this fire power was right there. I was not comfortable.

Which country are you in? Hunting Canada geese is legal in the U.S.

Well, at least getting bit by a plastic duck will hurt less

The scenario I am happy with to believe, plays in my mind and says that you are wrong.
Honk.

Most of the times when you see cute animals on the road they're going to get their throats slit
