Moss, you have told me about how you shoot... I don't know if you can shoot one outta the air. :chuckle:

Post by: Bigfoot on November 14, 2009, 06:32:11 AM: I shot one off the ground with my bow once......sumbitch flew about 500 yards and 3 fields over before it died and fell outta the sky. Then a herd of cattle trampled, blew snot and pooped on it. Damned cows! True story.

Post by: Special T on November 15, 2009, 07:33:04 AM: use a blunt when they are flying it will break bones... saw it on a TV show Feathered Affliction it think. the dude was shooting geese from a lay out blind with guys and shotguns backing him up.

Post by: BLUEBULLS on November 17, 2009, 06:19:40 AM: it's legal and it's a blast!! If you're shooting them on the ground then just make sure you use a broadhead with a large cutting diameter, aim for the fold in the wing.

a lot of times you'll get multiple shots at a flock.

That has *censored* movie all over it, I would pay to see that :chuckle:

Seriously though I would love to try it, if any of you Moses guys or other fowlers would mind a tag along or two. How would the guillotine heads work?

Post by: robb92 on November 18, 2009, 09:19:10 AM: I have shot several with my bow when I was on the deer team on base, it was fun and didn't have to pick through the breast for pellets.

doesn't it go through???

I've shot lots of grouse with rubber blunts and it usually goes through.

maybe that's the wonder it does on the neighbors cat :chuckle:

Post by: mossback91 on November 19, 2009, 12:11:36 PM: From my experience a rubber blunt doesnt go through a cat.......... just bounces off em! they live......its kinda nuts.........Im pretty sure cats do have nine lives

Title: Re: Goose Hunting With Archery Gear
Post by: Big10gauge on November 22, 2009, 06:33:05 AM: I would use the same thing that Rambo used to blow up the bridge. By the way next time time see that movie look at the head he used, it was a broadhead cover for the old style rotating razorback 5
