Dead goose knocks out Swedish hunter
"STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish hunter was knocked unconscious after his son shot a flying Canadian goose which then fell onto his head, news agency TT reported on Wednesday.

'I guess it wanted revenge,' hunter Ulf Ilback told local newspaper Extra Ostergotland, according to TT.

Ilback said he had to stay in bed for two days after being knocked out by the goose, which fell from around 20 metres (65 feet). The birds can weigh up 6 kg (13 lb)."
