loopy bunny blaster Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 am i right in thinking a .17hmr would easily kill a goose with good shot placement? or is he using the complete wrong tool for the job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 that is the point at issue, geese are hard to kill with whatever you shoot them with unless they are shot in the head and neck which is where you aim with a shotgun. Body shoot them and there is a lot of feather and down to protect them before the pellets get through. Head shots with a rifle aren't really on IMHO as the heads are small and they only need to move slightly while you're taking the shot and you could injure and not kill. What you can't see is if he's using hollow points rather then the V Max round, from the reaction of the geese I reckon he might be which may account for the slower death from body shots as the Vmax rounds usually do an awful lot of damage. As for using a bigger gun well you could but it micht be overkill to use a centrefire on them and not leave much worth eating. What I will say is he's obviously learning but I do have a bit of empathy for him its not easy trying to break a gooses neck when you do it for the first time.

Vulcha Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 I reckon, if you hit a goose in the head with a .17 HMr there wouldn't be alot of head left. Shame matey can't shoot though. Another thing, why on earth did they decide to put Canada's on the vermin list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavman Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Snow Geese with a Rifle and not even a clean kill If it was the UK you would quite rightly go to jail, the problem is Anti loves things like this and will try to fit it into a box over here to taint all of us And they would have a good case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevethevanman Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 :good: not good this gives shooting a bad image and the bit at the end with him twisting its neck round and round was just terrible, I noticed blood under the wings of one of them, which may mean he was body shooting them , shooting a vermin listed geese species with a 17 hmr is not bad as long as you can accurately place clean killing shots i.e. neck/head shots.

malkiserow Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 It is a great shame that this lad thinks this it worth a video on Utube. It appeared to me that he was indeed proud of his achievement. I would suggest he is ignorant of country ways, ignorant of basic rights of animals and ignorant about shooting skills and hunting techniques. I can only assume that he is a lad with a gun but does not have the skill, does not use his intelligence or humanity to use it safely. I would also suggest he is a liability with that rifle. I wonder if this is misguided interest or whether he can indeed be taught safety and the skills/feeling/humanity that I think he needs?
