It's funny, I've killed I dunno how many geese in my life, but it's in the high hundreds. And I've never killed anything except just your old standard size canada goose and a few of the giant strain. The smaller races seem to elude me for some reason. I'm impressed to say the least, and envious of course.

Destry, don't be envious, smaller geese make for range estimation errors. We do not see Lesser's around here very often either. In fact we had no idea there were Lesser's until they were down. Since we are used to standards and giants we misjudged the range. What we thought was a 40 yard overhead pass was more like 25 or 30. Mine were hit really hard, one of them too hard :-( Good patterns though :-)
