How is this goose still alive?

The season to hunt geese lasts from Sept. 1 to Sept. 25, and one goose somehow escaped... with a bolt in its head. What looks like an arrow is actually considered a bolt, one expert told 7 Eyewitness News that the goose was probably shot with a crossbow and due to the small size of the bolt. That particular crossbow was likely illegal to hunt with in New York.
