Can't Wait To Do This With My Ithaca

[Frank Good]

I was a bit late getting my Ithaca NID4E back in time for the 2023 waterfowl season but she is ready for 2024 and I have a few hundred rounds of Bismuth ready to meet the challenge...

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.

Looks like you guys have had some great hunting there Frank!

You were putting that Ithaca to some good use, thanks for all the great pictures,

Stan

PS. I love that grip and the beautiful checkering

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.

I got to use my new to me NID Mag 10 this season and it was a charge

Looks like you guys did a good job hitting the drake mallards.

[Frank Good]

Well it seemed like an eternity waiting for the mallards to green up so I could bring the Ithaca out to play!

And of course Judge Parker wanted in on some action as well so he tagged along for the final honker hunt of the season.
