George1990 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Nipped up to see a mate from uni for a spot of shooting, and I whacked my first goose. More Eygiptians than anything but there you go. It's a Canada model, which was unlucky enough to fly right over me while we waited along a tree-line. Rather chuffed I was Their neighbour also bagged their first Mallard Edited September 20, 2009 by George1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Nice shooting mate, but wearing make-up like that shouldn't you have called yourself "Georgeous George" Hope your wife keeps her underwear drawer locked up 'cos my mum warned me about talking to strange men in the woods!

George1990 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Top one. The Canada not the Brent goose in the bottom picture. It could not have been a Brent or Barnacle Goose, as they are winter migrants (and it is not winter), and do not migrate to anywhere where near I was shooting! It's a young Canada. End of.
