Geese
Just went this morning and picked up a Browning Silver Hunter in shadowgrass camo. I went out for geese and ducks last weekend as the farmer where i hunt asked me to get rid of some. Now i can leave the scope and rifled barrel on the 870. I can't believe i'm having a hard time getting guys out. Heading out this saturday morning to try it out. Any pointers on setting up the silouettes to draw 'em in close? Total rooky when it comes to waterfowl and the guy who knows, doesn't want to go out.(too far from him). I managed to get 1 goose and 2 ducks last Friday evening and Saturday morning but there was a heck of alot of ducks circling but not coming close enough. Any pointers are appreciated.
The real answer to your problem of somebody to go along with you. You need a retriever buddy. You can always rely on, he or she will always want to go along with you. They don't over sleep, no complaints about hang overs. Never had one of my Chessies complain about the cold. And the number one reason for choosing a retriever, they don't loose many birds. As a matter of fact you will find yourself hunting more just to please your new hunting buddy. Do not buy the argument that they get pissed at you when you miss a bird, this is untrue. The real reason he might hiest his leg by your pant leg after a missed shot is not a rebuff of your marksmanship, nut rather to hide his disappointment in you and to put the blame on himself in case anybody is watching ( when you jump back and scream, folks that might be watching will figure you must be snake bit and that's why you missed). In other words take your best friend on this earth along, you'll never regret it!
