Post by: StanwoodSpartan on January 05, 2009, 08:24:21 PM: My uncle (Gamblin' Guy) also said that. Says I killed someone's 4H project, and every time we see each other, I get asked if I found the poor little kid looking for his/her pet.

Post by: Schmalzfam on January 06, 2009, 05:21:07 AM: I think that is what my boys refer to as a Kitchen goose/duck..lol aka Pet! Do you not identify your birds before you shoot them?????
Seems odd you'd be asking WHAT you shot after you shot it...??

Title: Re: I Done Think I Knocked Down An Imbred
Post by: M_59 on January 06, 2009, 10:11:21 AM: My best guess would be an immature Spec. I have not seen a snow (or blue) with yellow legs.

Inbreds should not be a protected species...that's how we got Bucoda. :chuckle:

Could be. Snow geese have orange legs.

Title: Re: I Done Think I Knocked Down An Imbred
Post by: M_59 on January 06, 2009, 12:47:33 PM: All the snow geese I have shot have either pinkish or gray legs depending on their age. :dunno:

Post by: Happy Gilmore on January 06, 2009, 12:57:29 PM: Was it swimming next to a water fountain when you shot it? :dunno:

I think they are called Brown Normandy's.
Title: Re: I Done Think I Knocked Down An Imbred
Post by: Ray on January 06, 2009, 01:26:07 PM: I think it is more likely a spec but I don't think that because of leg color. Juvenile snows are often gray in color and I thought perhaps it might have been a blue snow goose but probably not since a spec seems more likely.

Post by: chester on January 06, 2009, 01:53:33 PM: was it flying when you shot it?
Title: Re: I Done Think I Knocked Down An Imbred
Post by: StanwoodSpartan on January 06, 2009, 03:03:39 PM: Yeah. Was on the goose call at a passing flock, and they were locked in to a field further on up the way, following them was a flock of ducks. Got on the duck call, and two of these flew in. I downed one with one shot (shell got stuck while ejecting) and the other got away. It looked like a goose coming in, but responded to the duck call.

Post by: singleshot12 on January 06, 2009, 03:48:10 PM: Pretty sure that's a rare protected "Tree Duck" that probably got lost and flew off coarse during the snow storms.

Title: Re: I Done Think I Knocked Down An Imbred
Post by: wrangler on January 06, 2009, 07:44:57 PM: that would be an alaskan speckled belly... if they came in to your duck call you might be something a tad bit wrong... :hello:
