A Canada goose with a hunter's 26-inch arrow sticking out of its chest picked the right place to land. "This is a smart goose," said Bernard Levine, the retired veterinarian in whose Toms River backyard the wounded bird showed up a few weeks ago. "He happened to come into the yard of a veterinarian that could take care of him."
So Levine, 82, fed the goose, helped capture it, performed lifesaving surgery and transported it to the state's largest bird rehabilitation facility, The Raptor Trust.

Misleading story. No way to prove this was done by a "hunter" most likely was done by some kid with a Walmart Kids bow set. If it was a hunting arrow bird would be dead.
