Goose hunting with #4

Postby birdman » Sat Oct 27, 2012 3:51 am

I went hunting on opening day using up some of last years HeviShot. It was 3 inch number 4, and at 45 yards it killed the geese stone dead. That seems like small shot but it worked really well for the ducks and geese. We ended up with 19 ducks and 6 geese-there were three of us hunting. We had a great day.

I use anything when im field hunting geese. Ive used up old #6 2 3/4 steel that was laying around before. All first shots are within 15 yards though typically.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

My dad dropped a goose stone cold with regular 4 shot 3" experts last year at 40 yards. Hit them right, or get lucky enough, and they'll drop.

Xperts kill stuff dead. Except pintails at 86 yards.
