Personally I view myself as a leader. As odd as it may sound that geese are a leader figure it is possible. Leaders can be found in anyone and I think this was a creative way to teach leadership! :) Good example of what leaders do! I think that this lesson is really terrific!

I have been hunting geese all my life and I have shot my share of geese. When you shoot and kill or injure a goose the rest of the flock or "jag" as hunters call it, takes off like bats out of hell. not once have I been so lucky to see 2 more birds follow the bird I shot to the ground. in response to fact #4 it is as well incorrect the goose honk is simply a locater call. Geese use it to "see" what is going on within the flock. It is also used when there is a change in a lead bird or when a bird falls behind (I know this for a fact, I've seen it) they do not do it to encourage the other geese. In response to fact #5
