You let it out too quick

A case of ground shrinkage would really suck when shooting dark Vancouvers, especially if you hit a double.  I shot one last season but mostly I’m scared to pull the trigger on them.

I dont understand... Nothing wrong with to Cacks in my opinion. Dusky's are bigger than Vancouvers. They are more close in size to a big Western.

Order is off there, vancouvers are one size down from westerns, dusky's are smaller then Couvs. Closer in size to a lesser

Vancouver Canada Goose  - Description
• Color is dark and similar to dusky.
• Culmen length 50 to 60 mm
• The Vancouver is of comparable size to the western.

Dusky Canada Goose (Dusky)  - Description
• Dark-colored; often with little color differentiation between neck and head. A few birds may have a neck ring. Color is a 5 or less on the Munsell soil color chart. Collar colors are red or green.
• Culmen length 40 mm to 50 mm.

Cackling Goose (Cackler)  - Description
• Very small goose, similar to the size of a mallard, slightly larger.
• Breast dark brown, sometimes with a white neck ring. Juveniles are generally lighter in color. If collared, the collar is yellow.
• Culmen (bill) length of less than 32 mm. Head appears “puffy.”

The only sure way to tell a Vancouver from a Dusky is to measure the culmen. 
Greater than 50mm = Vancouver, less than 50mm = dusky.  Exactly 50mm (flip a coin).

Our group has taken 5 Vancouvers over the last 4 yers. All checked by the dept. They are big birds, unless those are the worlds largest cacklers and mallards it is probably a dusky.
