Jaycal, here is your original post in this thread and is exactly why Spank does not want to continue to help you....
You admit to being green, not knowing what gun and what technique to use, and come searching for guidance..... Yet, in spite of this guidance, which you are receiving from a number of seasoned waterfowl hunters, you insist on continuing down the road to stupidity and legal charges..... You have been told to set up a blind, use a 12 gauge, decoys if you wish and that your friend cannot hunt alongside you unless he has a license....
The homeowner who is encouraging you to use a centerfire .22 cal rifle (which, as stubblejumper mentioned is not rare at all), is telling you to commit a crime that will land you without a hunting license a gun license and will see you get a hefty fine.....
There is nothing wrong with hunting for delicious wild game as your trophy.... There is everything wrong with hunting unethically and illegally with delicious wild game as your trophy......
So make your choice.... If you want to listen to the ridiculous advice of this landowner and follow down that illegal path, then stop coming here being an askhole..... Seeking advice and not following it / listening to it.....
New to the sport, could use a bit of clarification.
Friend has a large farm and has invited me to do some hunting there, possibly geese as they flock to the large pond in the fall. Are we allowed to hunt geese and if so, how do I go about obtaining a license? Any idea how many can be taken down? We'd be splitting the bounty, hoping to be able to get at least 4, if that's even a possibility. Can someone please share some insight on this? This would be my first time out hunting, could use a bit of guidance as I'm as green as they come.
Also, what would be a good gun for the occasion? A 12 gauge I presume? Have my PAL but not looking to spend much as a starter/first time venture.
