It was a good one, as good a time as I ever had with a gun. I doubt I ever get to do anything like it again, the stars were aligned perfectly for all that to happen.
The gun is my old super beater BH I bought from Muderlak years ago. It's a 12 gauge, 28 inch barrels, choked cyl and light imp cyl, barrels have been cut from 30 inch. I took it over there as an all around gun for the game shooting.
I used an 8 gauge on the geese, everything else was 12 gauge work. I had a 10 bore along but the English loaded shells that were available to me were so hot they made it jump open when I fired it. I never saw a 10 gauge shell act that way except the old 3 1/2 inch 1 7/8 ounce bismuth factory loads, those are super super hot and will wreck a gun as well.
