I noticed Kerry shot a Canada goose, ...........[IE no need for camouflage
outfits].

I think that costume party he participated in contributed to his downfall.
He came across as an empty suit on several fronts. He tried to convince
sportsmen he was a sportsman wearing ill-fitting camo and looking very
awkward with the gun. He tried to convince the southerners he was a NASCAR
fan, not for a moment realizing NASCAR is a religion in the south. He tried
to convince farmers and ranchers he was behind them all the way - they knew
in an instating that the privileged boy from Massachusetts had no clue. In
doing all of this he lost the votes of the bread and butter moral
Christians.



I thought you could practically walk up to them.

Mmmmm.......Not quite. Urban geese are pretty tame but the police don't
like shotguns in the city parks. Actully goose hunting involves getting up
way before dawn, dressing warm and sitting in a blind or boat before the sun
rises. It also involves a fairly good investment in time and equipment.

That led me to wonder if they are edible, and if they are and they are so
plentiful why we aren't eating them for thanksgiving ???

Very edible. In fact some of the geese who migrate through the midwest tend
to hang around. This means they get a fair amount of their diet from grain.
Very tasty and yes many people do enjoy them for Thanksgiving, Christmas and
Sunday dinners.

Plentiful? Bring a semi to Wichita, Ks and I am sure the city fathers would
be glad to send a few thousand home with you.
