firepower Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sitting there we heard a distinctive sound in the skies. Two reports followed and the result was..................... Yep two Canada Geese both clean kills as they flew over us at an altitude of 25 feet. They are 3 1/2 feet long and bloody heavy. By the time we had walked the 1/2 mile back to the Land Rover we had a right sweat on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 A case of , "you shot them, you carry them". I can remember in the past not shooting a hare, as I didn't want to have to carry it around for the rest of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight32 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 well done canada's are fine eating I hear the opposite...but have never tried it myself nice pics...................what shot did you fell them with? Always try and pick them further back in the skein, and older bird can be fairly tough on the eating side!!! However when only a limited number present themselves you have to take the opportunity as they arise!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipmoff Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I thought it was illegal to use lead on waterfowl I thought that was over water not inland No in England its illegal to shoot wildfowl with lead must be non toxic, in Scotland however it is legal to shoot them over land with lead but you must use non toxic over water.
