Six percent of people think they can beat a grizzly bear (7 Viewers)

Beat ‘em at what? Wordle? Thumbwrestling? Twister? Staying focused until the third paragraph of a poorly written article?

I wholly believe I can take a goose down.

we’re not talking about your fancy ski jackets - we’re talking real, avian menace

Sure about that?

A goose ran at me when I was about 15 on a golf course. I relish to chance to get my revenge. Scenes of unexpecting and timid humans are irrelevant to me. I am Homo sapiens - I am higher on the food chain than a goose, hand to hand. I only need to access my primal capability and when I comes to geese, I am ready.

How about swans?

How about swans?

Quite a bit bigger than a goose. I don’t want no part of a swan. If the sheet goes down, I’m going for the neck.

About a month ago, I was fishing our neighborhood ponds.

I happened upon a nest and the momma Canadian goose was on it. Didn't see the dad. Til about 10 seconds later, what looked like a giant black blob coming from upper right. I took off running and he followed me sqwaking and flapping wings. Haven't been back to that pond.

The gaggle, when in town, walk thru my yard like they own it. If you happen to see them on street, put in park and wait. They simply don't give up the right of way.

Not a fan. So I'd tap my tag team partner to get in there.

Are we assuming people answered that honestly?

Precisely how I envisioned the fight to go.

Are we assuming people answered that honestly?

If you don’t, reality crumbles and we’re merely floating through existence untethered to anything meaningful.

How many live in Florida?

Sure about that?

I've successfully fended off quite a few goose attacks. We had a territorial male with his female who tried to take over our walking path so daily for a couple weeks we dealt with them. The key there is they come at you wings spread and the head forward. You do not back down or try to avoid them. You boot them in the head if you don't have a nice stick. Eventually they'll get the message. Once I found a nice branch to use, he left the area just seeing me carry it.

Remember Timothy Treadwell, aka Grizzly Man, and his wife?

I'm thinking I *might* be able to orchestra one good punch at a goose or a kick to the neck.

Anything else, I'll knock myself out trying to run through a tree and commence to being eaten.

Just for the record, a goose can’t eat a person. A goose lacks any meaningful capability to harm a person beyond through the chaos of fear.

Once you overcome the fear that the wild attacking animal brings, it’s merely a goose. Big wings, beak/bill designed to eat grains and berries, and webbed feet.

The neck is an obvious weakness. You are an advanced, capable primate. Seize the obvious weakness.
