My Wm Schaefer 10ga worked great on Geese with RST Bismuth, I also got out with my Baker by LC Smith trigger opener and lead RST.

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.

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