Pet Canadian goose.

[Redneck in training]

Friend of mine found this goose on his property looking pretty sick. He gave it some water and started feeding it. After it got healthy it followed him everywhere he went or drove.

A fellower worker mentioned that his good friend who lives on the next road to me has a pened deer .
Under Ontario Law you can not keep wild life such as White Tailed Deer.
He is in a deer run and found a young sick deer at his side door. They nursed it back.
He has a letter from the Ontario Goverment stating that he may keep the deer because of the conditions of its health it can not be returned to the wild.

There is a guy not to far from our place. He has a bunch of deer that are semi-pets. They live wild but come to get treats when he calls them. Then he pens few trophy bucks during hunting season.

Getting to know nature/wildlife indeed can be rewarding,its a shame the ones who fear or wish not to understand causes the most problems.

We had a pet wild turkey for about 3 years. She followed me back to the house one day when I was clearing out a fenceline. She used to go in my barn and stayed with my horses. She was very friendly, but she started coming around less often, and she took up with a group of wild turkeys that came to the feeder every day. We call her Miss Elly, after the Beverly Hillbillies charecter.

Pretty neat, kind of like the movie "Fly Away Home" based on a true story. The actual guy that started the migration idea in the movie has successfully taught several different species their historic migration routes using a Ultra-light.

To Western
You mentioned Lishman and the Canadian Geese ( here comes the joke ).
As the Goose flies the Purple Hill site is about 20 minutes driving time South East from where I live.
I learned more on TV than I heard on the local grape vine.

Right!! Fascinating story to be kept "under wraps" too. I wonder if with less technology like the "net", if you would have heard about it around the local pubs or coffee shops? Seems like local info is harder to come by, or maybe with the Internet we have become somewhat less connected?

BTW, The movie is a suburb family/grandkids show

It is not the Internet. It is air conditioning what keeps us disconnected. In the old days people used to sit on a porch and talked to strangers on the sidewalk. New houses don't even have porch.
