+1 with this, on what @Ontario Hunter says to needing more shots on a goose. My hunting buddies and I were hunting the early season goose season. We were hunting a cove from my boat. One particular goose fell with half its head gone. It kept trying to get away. Between the 2 of us we put six...

Short answer: What do you think? I shot this goose, 1 of 3, no shots on the other 2, on open lake bottom. Using a 10 gauge s x s. Last year in the same area, also in similar attire, but wearing shorts and no jacket, I shot 3 geese with 2 shots. I had to go wading to retrieve the 3rd goose...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:.....Not laughing at your situation of rhyme or reason.....but you bring back memories of discussions my 2 previous wives and I had regarding my enthusiasm for firearms, hunting, fishing, the great outdoors, etc., etc.,......and our respective each his/her own "financial...

WOW!....4-500 For a broomhandle in the '80's? I passed on the broomhandles for a mousant- nugent (? spelling). At a gun show in North Carolina in the 80's I could of had my pick of broomhandles, and as many as I wanted, complete with the wood holster/stock and 2 boxes of ammo for $45.00 each...

You are welcome. Happy Veterans day to all of my fellow servicemembers. Cheers to all who have survived to this day. A toast to our fallen comrades. May we never forget those who sacrificed all.

Welcome to AH.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm still not getting a set of quad sticks. I much prefer my tripod. When I need to take a break and the ground is wet/damp I can hang my rifle and pack on the tripod to keep off the ground. Once the tripod is set up it pretty much stays up by itself. Tripods are a whole lot more convenient and...

Not in my future. I used them on my last trip to RSA. Quad sticks are good for stability, but lack in quick setup and lack in any advantage over the tripod for following / lining up a shot on moving game. Too many times on setting the quad sticks up on undeveloped ground there was too much...

Hmmm.....I was the aggressor in my first encounter with a dangerous animal; actually a reptile(?) it was a snake, a copperhead or moccasin. Either one it was still tasty. I attacked it with an Ol' Timer or Uncle Henry folding pocket knife with a 4 inch blade. Fast forward and another encounter...

Yeah, that's was my thought once upon a time. Then I went after my first, and only so far, black wildebeest. First 5 shots were Barnes TSX or TTSX. My only 2 remaining bullets were Hornady SSTs, accidentally in my shirt pocket. First shot the black wildebeest should have hit the ground DRT...

+1. A bit too soon. But yeah, that's humorous.

Gotta thank @Arty0802 for keeping us updated and the heads-up on who not to use for taxidermy and shipping of our trophies.
