Dead Goose Falls From Sky, Sends Waterfowl Hunter To Shock Trauma (video)
The waterfowl hunter found himself in the crosshairs of his harvest on Thursday ‐ knocked out cold by a dead goose falling from the sky. "These birds weigh anywhere from 10 to probably 14 pounds. They can have a wingspan of up to six feet," says Candy Thomson, Maryland Natural Resources Police. "So, if they’re 35 yards up in the air, and they’re falling 60 feet and they hit you in the head, it’s going to definitely cause severe damage." Maryland Natural Resources Police say the unpredictable scene played out near the Miles River. A group of hunters had leased private land and took their shots at a flock of geese before sunset. Robert Meilhammer, 51, was severely injured on his head and face. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-02-03 |
