I've shot geese and ducks up near Aberdeen and Perthshire in Scotland, also over in the Western Isles. Took an English 8 bore with me and shot quite a few good high birds with it, particularly around Aberdeen. Always good times over there, would like to make one more big trip.
Gamebore used to load commercial cartridges in both black powder and nitro though most of the guys I knew loaded their own.
The big greylags are fun but it's the pinkfoots I liked the best. Shot them under the moon once, that was a rare treat.
