Duck hunting shotgun question...

I can’t tell. Juvenile Ross and Snow geese are hard for me to tell apart…Especially in flight!

I’ll ask my guide…
@NIGHTHAWK - agree, I could never tell until “one hit the ground”, they are 1/2 the size of a Snow and that bird in your hand looks to be a “Ross” (Mallard size goose).
Looks like you had a good day overall !
 
A couple of weeks ago I was in ND for pheasant hunting. After filling my limit in the morning (3/day), I went duck and goose hunting and really enjoyed it.

I borrowed a semi-shotgun for the duck hunting. I really enjoyed it, so decided to get my own lefty shotgun for the future. Based on an earlier post here and my own research I decided on a lefty Beretta A400 Extreme Plus.

Question for those that have a lot of experience, does the camo pattern really matter for ducks? I am leaning towards no camo.
I bought that exact gun for my lefty son. I'm no expert but for those birds I think camo is a good idea. I love Beretta!

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
