Hey Guys,
Waterfowled for years back in MB....and still try and get back to hunt with my Dad there now and then. Do you guys out here see many domestic geese with the wilds?
I live down right by the ocean in Van and was walking the dog tonight; a bunch of Canada's in the field by my house and amongst them one BIG FAT domestic goose. No way it's an escapee from the neighborhood, our Moonbean mayor only allows chickens...haha. It was largely white with some brownish/greyish coloring on it and a big white skin looking flap where it's beak meets it's face. I have seen plenty of blue's and snow alive and dead to know it wasn't one of those and definitely not a Brant or a swam (or gull :razz:). Looked quickly at some breeds of domestics but didn't see a match but made the Canada's look definitely smaller next to it. Snapped a pic but phone camera at the distance didn't do it any justice.
