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?

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.
