I'm buying PA24's view lock, stock and barrel. This drefful-big-this-or-that consumerism gives us a bad name. Around here generations of rural people have lived with and welcomed goose and duck hunting as a time of the year. Now, land is being closed to access because of the noise from the 3 1/2 inchers. Put plainly, these guys can't shoot. They don't conceal themselves properly, put out a decent spread and feel a need to skybust with cannons. There's not a bird in Eastern Canada that can't be taken cleanly with a 2 3/4-inch shell and 1 1/4 oz load.
