Great pictures and lots of good eating there.
What shot size did you use on those geese? I've used #2 Bi with blackpowder and been able to get great penetration with that combination.

I was using #4 Bismuth by RST in the Schaefer, I also had my old Browning A5 Magnum along and was using 3 inch Kent #2 bismuth in it. I shot two geese with the Schaefer and number 4 shot, one dropped dead and the other flew a couple hundred yards(due to my poor shooting)he landed on the water and couldnt fly after landing I had to shoot him again on the far shore. The number 2 shot in the Browning A5 worked excellent as well.

Great pics Ross. Love the old guns. In the blind is exactly where that Schaefer belongs :-). Nice of you to put it to work, I bet it felt right at home.
BrentD, send Dave some money you freeloader.

Hey all, well here's my Thanksgiving bird. My son Jim and I went out for our annual Thanksgiving day hunt. Saw birds (not many) but we only managed to get one. Was a great day, topped off by a wonderful dinner. I used my 16ga Garbi 100 today Best, Greg

South Dakota trip was a ton of fun as usual. Took this decent 4x4 Whitetail with the .375 H&H I built at about 8 paces. Turns out it was enough gun. Found some incredible bird hunting(my goodness I had forget just how good private land can be) and helped my nephew bag his first buck. More pics tomorrow.

Steve can't count. That's an eight point all day, and a nice one!...Geo

Note that Steve said "4x4", that's the Western method of counting points. 8-point would be the Eastern Count. Had it been a 7-point I do not recall for sure with the Western count whether you list the smaller or larger side first but I believe it would have been a 4x3 in that instance. Steve can likely give us the lowdown on that, but it does seem he knows how to count. In total agreement, that's a nice buck.

SKB You sure that was enough gun? I took my moose a week ago with a 257 AI and thought that was plenty.
