A lone Canada goose was buzzing the 94-year-old commercial
hunter's goose pits near Tekamah, Neb.
Peering at it through
the broom grass that covered his blind, Kohler waited, waited,
waited — and then called the shot.
About three shotguns
fired. The goose tumbled from the sky.
And plowed into
Kohler. A direct hit.
Kohler caught enough of a gander at
the goose moments before it hit to turn his head and avoid a
face-to-carcass collision.
The 10-pound bird struck Kohler's
shoulder and back, bloodied his jacket, crashed through the broom
grass and fell dead at his boots.
“I'm a little sore, just
like another arthritis pain,'' he said.
Abood hit the bird
with a shot from his Browning Gold 12-gauge. The goose was about 30
yards high.
