Must have been a 10ga

After dropping Conor off at work there was just enough time to take my nephew for a Goose.

A quick look at a spot I'd not been to this season saw 400-500 Greylag jump from a stubble then fly to a series of gravel pits past experiences told these Geese had been chased. With a outside chance we settled into a ditch only watch bunches of Geese go everywhere apart from over us a big surprise was 150+ Canada Geese which jus flopped out the pit onto the stubble.

The Greylag was well jumpy one of the reasons being a vehicle driving around which now parked up with two people eyeing the Canada's which sat 200yrds away from us. 60 + Greylag jumped when 80 yrd out swung left straight to the Canada's saw the vehicle with two watching flaired gained height turned straight at us

Taking the first then second well in front like driven pheasant i just managed the third before they got above us yet again my 20ga with 7/8oz Steel 3's along with a 1oz B's had stuffed the Geese turning to my nephew i can't print his comments.

As we drove out the field i apprehended the two watching who's opening comments was " those 10ga Auto's kill " to say i well and truly bust the two's bubble is a understatement . Dash Cams are a wonderful piece of equipment ?

Good show 6.5 its the calibre of the shooter not the gun you have that 20 working for you and if it is not broken there is no need to fix it carry on and well done. :good:

Gentleman thank you All very much 👍

I am very very fortunate to have access to some of the finest goose shooting in Europe Foreshore and Inland add to that being a self employed Welder i normally can go when the weather is okay and Geese are playing ball this season so far has been very restricted due to my Grandson working full time but hey I've still shot plenty hopefully a few more yet. Bring on the Moon's 😊

A trio of any winged game with a shotgun is something to be proud of, and getting three geese with a small gauge gun is some fine marksmanship , same ole story really , the gun is capable of doing it , as long as the person using it is .

 

Brad ... We haven't heard from our good friend anser2 ( Robert ) for a while , is he keeping well ?
