"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

All the snow geese I have shot have either pinkish or gray legs depending on their age. :dunno:

Was it swimming next to a water fountain when you shot it?  :dunno:

I think they are called Brown Normandy's.

I think it is more likely a spec but I don't think that because of leg color. Juvenile snows are often gray in color and I thought perhaps it might have been a blue snow goose but probably not since a spec seems more likely.

Yeah. Was on the goose call at a passing flock, and they were locked in to a field further on up the way, following them was a flock of ducks. Got on the duck call, and two of these flew in. I downed one with one shot (shell got stuck while ejecting) and the other got away. It looked like a goose coming in, but responded to the duck call.

Pretty sure that's a rare protected "Tree Duck"  that probably got lost and flew off coarse during the snow storms.
