"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.

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.

that would be an alaskan speckled belly... if they came in to your duck call you might be something a tad bit wrong...  :hello:
