Might add that not too long after moving down here, I found myself walking off 50lbs (got a little carried away on both ends of the scale), and made a habit of guessing when standard mail boxes were 60 paces away, then counting. Last time I checked, I can still come within a pace or two, but the bottom line is that my paces are 9/10ths of a yard, and specks and blues are smaller around the body than standard mail boxes. So when our geese were the size of 60 pace mail boxes, they were plenty doable, and that was my measure during our big white spread days.
But they'd get a pass from me today.
