I don't think I have used Hevi-Shot.
Last Geeses I felled...
Super X Model 1, with Steel approved external knurled .735 choke [ I was too lazy to remove this choke I use for SKeet and all mind you] and used 2 3/4" shells since the chamber is only 2 3/4" , of Win #1 Steel shot and distance was about 30 yds.
No camo, just out near a farm structure and the damn geese were making too much racket.
Win 1400, 20 ga, again restricted to 2 3/4 " chamber, and again left the IC choke in it, as I was too lazy to change it and used Some Win Steel load, which I did not bother to look or ask.
"Hand me your gun and some shells and how many Geese do you want".
Again, no camo, and trying to check out something and the damn Geese would not shut up.
Last Geeses, Goosess, whatever...
H&R Topper, Youth, Single Shot 20 ga, fixed modified barrel.
Some 20 ga Federal load I was tossed, again, no camo, just out and supposed to be watching and "What a dumb gun, you can't fell a honker with one of them".
Bang, Bang.
"Aw hell, don't tell my gun that, you will hurts its feeling".
Rebel...umm...I might have rebelled against a few things in my life.
Fella had the nice Ulta Mag with 3.5" shells...just could not shoot worth a flip.
I was out watching the dawgs and my intent for my wittle gun, was to shoot some small game on the way back in.
Geeses, Gooses, whatever you want to call 'em are helluva lot heavier than wabbits...
Bismuth I bought to reload , was #5 shot, as I like that shot size for ducks.
If a dumb geeses/gooses is going to get in the way, just shoot'em in da head.
I do this in no camo stuff and most often critters show up when you take a leak, sip coffee or light a cigarette.
Tip, easier to stop sipping or lighting a smoke than to stop peeing.
