If you look at the picture you'll see my son and our favorite game.. We play catch the goose almost 4 times a week.. It is great exercise and my boy is really good at it.. Link is the goose of course and loves to try to get away. When she wins, she come right back and shakes her tail at us again and the game is on. However we never play catch the Timmy.. Timmy ol'Tool doesn't play well with others..

I would say you have too much time on your hands maybe?<br /><br />Why not use the trap in the background, that way you can spend that chasin time fishing?<br /><br />Doesn't look like that goose is underfed though, probably needs the exercise too ;)

The trap was used to find what was eating the duck eggs. We lost all our eggs this year about 240 eggs.. I get a phone call at 6:30am by mom telling me not go outside.. I had a critter in the trap.. She was upset about it going off in the yard and she wanted me to make a phone call to the neighbor to get it out.. I found out that our neighbor hood is over run by skunks and ya it went off the minute it was..... you guessed it. My yard stunk for 2 weeks. It was like an all-nite buffet at our house for all the four-legged critters for awhile..

That is just to funny.. Link is a great pet and a fantastic watch dog(goose).. If someone is outside our place and that goose will let out cry like no other. It is funny becuase if it is a person it is a different sound she makes and if it is an animal it is a warning honk for the ducks to get in the water..<br />Link thinks she is a duck and has adopted 5 babies ducks..

No, Missing Link is one of the egypian goose's name. In other words he messed with Link and he is now missing. I shot him and he was dinner that night.. Boy he was little tough, but was still good. Egypian Goose with Stuffed Rice..

Hey Babs, just thought you'd like to know that up near where I grew up they had quite a few whisky warehouses. Never had guard dogs though: only geese :eek: <br />True: they used geese as guards because of the racket they made when strangers came near. I'll need to go and dig out a "link" to prove this now :rolleyes:
