What's brutal is having shooters ruining the reputation of ethical hunters, the sport does not need hunters like this period. The circus mentality of killing first and identifying later is getting a little old. I have never shot a bird not knowing what it was, I have however let legal birds go...

We had some excellent days in the blind! Really works out when we can get most of us in the blind and the calling comes together. Locals are now parking near by and drinking coffee and watching us

Sorry guys but there is no excuse for this! There is no confusing a 5 lb snow goose with a 15lb plus juvie swan. They should make an example of this guy and stick it to him BIG time. It's crap like this the antis could use against us, do we really need hunters like this in our group?

Geese actually decoyed in very well unfortunately too many too fast at times. We looked for collars and bands and let most go. Day three shoot

Good start to the California season for us 28 geese today, 15 yesterday

It's really simple, if the factory chokes you have say Full Choke and you need the right answer call, write or go on line to the manufacturer. If it says No Steel well there is the answer Then, once you find out what chokes you can use, go out and pattern the gun with numerous different loads...

Damn, I must have been out of duck hunting to long, I see an awesome drake widgeon but not the sprig!

Great draw at the right time, good luck on the snows, I miss that place some times

Based on the weather, there should be a really good push of birds, hunting around thanksgiving should be good!

As stik and D16 have mentioned many of us have gone thru so many mistakes and many of us will try to cut the learning curve down for the new folks coming in to the sport. From ammo to guns to decoys to chokes their is no one perfect set up that works all the time anywhere. In my 40 years of...

The statement I made about shooting ducks is an inside joke among a few old time friends on this board. Guys that know me know, know geese are my passion. And yeh I have shot a few geese, maybe several 1000. redrider, I just picked up two truck loads of used duck decoys, they are dirty and...

I guess I've been doing all wrong for a long time! To the OP, you really need to pattern your gun and try different shot gun shells and different factory chokes before you invest in aftermarket chokes. Don't throw a bunch of money at this sport until you figure out what is best for you I...

Most cripples come from poor shooting or shooting too high, any duck inside of 30yds should be killed clean with steel 20 ga loads Focus in on getting birds close instead of shooting high

As sdhunter said I use a factory IC for all waterfowl which is 90% geese. I also use 3 inch 2s 90% time occasionally using 3.5inch 2s Pattern different shells thru your gun, shoot what patterns the best, don't listen to all the hype!

Wister like any other refuge has it's own personality and it changes week by week, month by month and year by year. You need to track this, it will help with you success in the future As far as bird distance, the pic below is from my Samsung Cell Phone. We don't shoot into big flocks like...

It is very tough to confuse a juvie snow or a juvie spec. Pic below is of a juvie spec and adults. We keep some geese but give away a lot too, none of these geese were shot in southern California
