I agree looks like a hybrid, white-fronted x Canada... Very interesting. Where'd you shoot it?

More pictures would be better.  My first guess it a Greylag canada cross.

Here's another pic.  Well it spoke Canadian (since I was using a Canadian Goose call) so it assured me it wasn't an endangered :chuckle:. It's huge too.

Domestic / Hybrid.  I have watch them tag along with the big honkers before.  I shot one a few years back.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

h2ofowlr- Thanks, where do they usually hang out? Just migrate with the honkers or stay local? You eat the one you shot? I'm gonna mount it :chuckle:

Domestic cross.....several years ago we had a bunch on our local river.  My buddie shot one that looked like a blue goose.  Solid white head with orange bill, canada body, lil more white up the breast and orange feet.  Big one too
