Gentlemen, I think we have a winner. Or dinner, perhaps, in the case
of the goose...

Unfortunately in Alaska roadkill belongs to the state and there was
somebody behind me. Up to that point I hadn't committed a crime, but
stopping and throwing it in the back would have been and I know people
who have gotten in trouble with the state fish and game dept. for dumber
things. That goose committed suicide; it and another goose had been
sitting at the edge of the road eating gravel. It's buddy flew away
from the road, and it flew right at my truck.

A few weeks ago I came home to a goose sitting in my front lawn, it let
me take pictures and even video of it before it got up and walked away.
Unfortunately there were too many eyes around. Had he shown the poor
judgement to land in my back yard, his next stop would have been my
freezer. Since I live under the pattern at Merrill Field I could always
claim I was enhancing aviation safety:
