A big 12 and big goose
 

I took a whopper of a goose yesterday with a gun that hasn't got out much as it took a back seat to my Short Tens. Two hits with 1 1/4 bismuth #4 and the second shot was an honest 45 to 50 yards. Three frame VH 12, 9 pounds, 32" full and full, .036 in each barrel. Gun was built in 1900, brought back from the dead by DelGrego & Son in 2008.

Looks like one dead goose…and one happy hunter. Congratulations! A 3 frame 12 is on my list…

Pete, congrats!! That should count as two geese:)

Thanks, it was a bruiser for sure. Scott had to give the coup de gras from the front of the boat when we went to get it. Geese are tough birds.

Thanks, the long barrels and heavy weight helps to keep it swinging for sure.

Must have made one heck of a splash!! Nice job!

It sure did but it wasn't quite enough to trigger tsunami sirens. :rotf:

What did that beast of a goose weigh?

This one was 12 pounds. I have shot some 13 pounders in years past.

Years ago the old man and I killed one weighed 19 pounds on the state deer check station scales. Heaviest one I've ever seen in person.
