Can't Wait To Do This With My Ithaca

[Larry the Gun Guy]

Someone had a great shoot, but what kind of geese did they shoot? Those are definately not all greater Canadas. Short beaks and gray breasts, they are some sort of lessers. What state were they shot in? BTW, beautiful mallards too.

Alberta Canada, lesser canadas. I live in one of the best flyways for migrating Specks, Lesser Canadas and Mallards in North America.

I’ll say you do! Good to see someone is getting waterfowl action. None to speak of here.

Interestingly enough, or not interesting at all if you don't care to know about it, there are several different subspecies of lesser Canada goose. When I lived in Vancouver Washington and hunted geese across the Columbia river in Oregon, you actually had to pass a test about the 7 or 8 subspecies before you could get a license. They were defined as the Dusky, the Westerner, the Aleutian, the Taverner, the Cackler, the Richardson's, and the Lesser. The big focus was on the Dusky, which was limited to one per season as I recall. The Aleutian is kind of cool because it has a white collar where the neck joins the body. There are actually more subspecies depending where you are in North America. Anyway, back to the beautiful Ithaca subject gun; I've said it before, I'm in awe of Chris Dawe. What a craftsman.
