I have yet to hit one straight on, but I've clipped a few as they scurry at the last moment and take off in front of me.
Am I the only one that HATES these animals?
Watch out in the spring and early summer when they have goslings. They will out and out attack you to protect them. I had one chase after me for quite a distance.
