Nice pics Clash. Great shot with you and the kids.
Here is one from Wednesday. Got out with Parker for a couple hours and managed a few birds. He has been limping a bit lately so I figured retrieving ducks would be easier on his shoulder / leg then running flat out searching for Huns.
The goose was an interesting bonus; had just shot a duck and Parker was just returning from the retrieve when are heard some quiet honking coming from behind the trees. Gave a little cackling sound on the goose call and suddenly they were right there. Shot was 25 yards or so and I didn't have time to change ammo. I had #2s in the gun so what the heck. Goose just folded at the shot and crashed into the cattails. I was quite surprized when I popped the case out and it read #4. A pellet had completely snapped the humerus! Impressive for #4 steel.
Wouldn't want to try it again though.
Having the goose for Thanksgiving dinner.
