I took a limit of geese with my Beretta 686 in 20 gauge this year  :tup:

And countless upland birds   :chuckle:
What non toxic load were you using please?

You hunted geese with personal defense loads?
What would life be without the thrill of the hunt?

Those geese can be dangerous.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm last time I checked those loads were Pb, not non toxic. Also, they are only offered in 12 ga; not 20 ga..........

:nono: :bs:

we really need the rest of the story, maybe it was self defense against those  belligerent and recalcitrant  park geese that always get up in peoples business... at least a mugger won't crap on you after he beats you up. :yike:

Remington HD in #6 has been my choice for both duck and geese out of the Beretta 20.  By far better than #4 or #2 steel.

As I remember those park geese down by the Olympia brewery were mean and tough when I was a kid.  Would have liked to have some Self defence loads for them back then.
