Wow! Excellent account of quite a hunt. Congratulations. This story just goes to prove two things: hunting is much more than killing things, and; the craftsmen who bored Parkers knew their stuff(!)
Wonderful photos!! Thanks for posting.

I’ve shot many slough greenheads in Saskatchewan with a Holland 28 bore using ¾ oz of #6 shot. I limit my range to 25 yards. At that range, the little 28 bore folds them up nicely. I’ve never tried to shoot geese with it because I don’t shoot any size shot larger than #6 in the 28 bore. It will do the job within its limitations, but it’s not a duck gun by any measure. I like to play with it from time to time on the greenheads for the heck of it, but I only take incomers or side shots, never at a going away bird. The 28 bore is a fun and humane gun if used within its limitations.

Now I have to find/load some no-tox stuff for one of my 20's. This smallbore stuff is REALLY addictive.
