Cheap steel shells don't kill

[skhunter]

Yeah, right. Everyone used Winchester Expert 3inch #4's.
75 geese in the bag.

Nice job. However the word out in the goose world was they thought you were still shooting the 10ga when you jumped up and they died from a heart attack

So you're telling me that the Winchester experts are just as good as the $5/round Wingmaster HD rounds? Hmmm this cant be...

I've always said, its the shooter not the bullet (in this case the shell lol)

I cannot even imagine plucking that many geese.....

Who plucks geese these days? Most guys just peel em open and cut the breast meat off then get them ground up into sausage, pep operettas or something along those lines.

Forgot "Nice shooting"
Breast and leg them at about 5 minutes a bird. Or take them to a huterite colony and pay $4 a bird to be plucked and gutted(they want the down).

 

[the spank]

Takes me less than two minutes to breast one, then the carcass goes to the coyote bait pile.

 

[Longwalker]

The legs are the best part! Learn to cook them, don't throw them out!

Don't let a Warden see you breasting birds.Harold

shells

Xperts are the only thing I shoot.......1000's of dead birds can't be wrong.....When you hit them in the head the bird can't see the pricetag

 

[beretta boy]

Nice pile of "tundra maggots" !

 

[canoetrpr]

Curious-do you guys make your own goose pepperettes? How?

If you don't hunt coyotes, what does one do with the rest of the goose? Bury it I guess?

I let nature take it's course in the bush. If the coyotes don't get them something else will...

 

[eastcoastsoxfan]

Those geese are small enough you coulda killed em with 6s!

I had horrible results with 3" Kent steel on Canada's might as well have been throwing gravel.I burned most of them up getting rid of farm pigeons at point blank.They changed their wad column and powder from the one that was good.Best I found was Hevi Metal #3 and Black Cloud Snow Goose #2 just as good as lead with clean kills out to 50+ yards. Snow geese are a lot easier to kill than Canada's.Harold

I just got my hunting license for the very first time and a buddy of mine wants me to go goose hunting with him on my farm. I picked up some Remington Hyper-Velocity #4 thingys. Hope this works out.

Good job!

But now try those same shells in mid October on some real geese(Canada's) and see how you make out.

I stand firm by my belief that more birds die from injuries sustained by steel shot than ever did from lead poisoning.

If that were the case there would be an awful pile of outfitters out here who drop breasted birds with a wing attached at the soup kitchens and food banks on a weekly basis in one heck of a pile of trouble. I have hunted with more than a few C.Os who do the same thing!!!
