I shoot geese with a 10 gauge. Heavily feathered, flight toughened, late-season Canadas. I'm shamelessly thankful I don't have to lug that monstrosity afield in pursuit of grouse (and woodcock). Beautiful gun to be certain, but I'd have no desire to carry it any farther than from here to the truck, which would amount to about thirty yards at most. Oh, and in pleasant weather and broad daylight.

Yes he did, but it didn't take him long to come to the realization that it wasn't the perfect grouse gun.

The perfect grouse gun is the one that has your head on the stock,
eyes down the barrell, shooting where he's going and not where he's been ! Beware of the man with one gun, he might know how too use it. I used to be that guy. |
