I'll also be taping my rescue... it's a goal of mine now....It's been a few days but now she's warming up to me with bread and I guess a good tip of yours is to strike when she's not facing you. This case she knows it's coming every time
@Wildrsq Thanks - Found out yesterday that video might not be an option because it's incredibly hard by my self over here. So the bad thing is she has killed 11 of her 24 babies over 3 days..when she lays on them she is crushing them and she knows it and won't let me near her...bread works but she knows what's next and flies. New remedy is my custom 25 foot skinny pole I'm going to slide under her while shes eating to hold her down and make it extremely quick to pounce. I don't want to hurt her
Your Awesome You seem to be exactly what I am ,an outdoors man who cannot take when an animal is in distress over human created situation. Now if an animal is sick or dying I might take it to the vet but nature is nature. I have a duck in my back yard that flies back and forth the lake so I can get within 1 foot of it and it takes off she will not walk because her legs are so tangled. she just had 24 ducklings too and I don't think she can be that much of a teaching mom until that is off
I have the same exact situation with a goose on the lake where I live -- the goose has a fishing line around its legs and is jumping on one leg. I wondr if I can do the same thing. I'm just concerned (afraid) it might come at me or something.
@KhalSyr Dont be afraid, the goose's life might depend on you . I have more than 10 different goose rescues on here and if they ever came at me it would make it much easier :). Make sure that you can control the wings, they are the only thing that can hurt you. Good luck, let me know if you get him.
How wonderful to know that there are other kind people in the world. I cannot wait to watch more of your videos. You are an inspiration. Thank you for all you do!!
You are awesome to be doing this! I have an injured goose at my pond, and the local rehabber said that they would provide it with medical care. I just have to catch it first to get it to them! I am going to watch your video over and over and maybe I'll be able to catch the goose myself!! :) I've been worried about it all day, trying to figure out how to do this! So your video has been very helpful!
Thanks! My son (age7) does help me sometimes, it all depends on what we are catching. Fully grown Geese can hurt him and we usually only get one shot at catching a goose.
ive a question, if you look at the geese in the background, how did they know that you were going to release it? at 1:54 they sorta like, "fly" but notice you hadn't fully let go yet, and then when you do actually let go at 2:00, they ALL fly off at the same time...
anyways, I've always liked watching your videos, you are a very kind man for helping all of nature, pls continue making videos! thanks!
Thanks, glad you like the videos.I'm not sure why they jumped like that,maybe a quick movement or someone behind me moving.Or they are use to me doing this at that lake;) .That was the second goose that I caught that week with fishing line tangled around its legs .

@Jeepacreepah01 I use a tripod to film most of my videos. Good luck with the rescue.

You're doing great work by helping geese with this too common of a problem but why not engage the/your? child in learning how to assist?
