Scanned the site and couldn't find it, but your post brought back kind of a bad memory.
Years ago when I was a young and hunting alone a honker family of 5 landed out pretty much out of range from my ditch. I still can't believe 747 shell decoys worked back then. Anyway, I decided to dump all the shells (lead back then) on the huge gander. He looked HUGE. All the other geese took off but him afterward. The 4 remaining geese kept circling him as I was walking up to the standing gander. He didn't run, even though he could have, but stood his ground hissing at me. I have never been someone who needed to slews grounded field birds, but am a neck ringer so this completed the bad experience I will never forget.
He weighed 12.5 pounds.
