Thread: A few photos from a recent hunt.

We snuck into a nice flat Sat morning to promptly have a goose start squawking and fly off down it!!

good work mate nice spot, i was up st james afew weeks ago checking out some clearings and nailed 5 geese for the dog on the way out nothing much more satisfying then watching the impact of the 243 on them

Huge numbers of them up there, need to be culled really. DOC technically requires a small game permit for them to be hunted on conservation land. You would think they would make it as easy as possible to get rid of them by having it as part of the regular permit. Doubt anyone actually cares though

I checked my 308 out last wednesday morning on a noisy goose at 300yds.Never squawked again.About 40 lifted on the river bed.

I fried up a goose egg back on the farm when I was young. Never again, if you're ever tempted guys, just don't do it.

Geese is a protected bird, right? But, once is a lifetime to eat one is acceptable. I like eat Geese, especially the German way in cold winter.

Canada geese are not protected

"Canada geese were introduced as a game bird into New Zealand in 1905. They were protected under the Wildlife Act of
1953 and the population was managed by Fish and Game New Zealand who culled excessive bird numbers. ... In 2011
the government removed the protection status allowing anyone to kill the birds"

Good to see you can now use lead ammo on Canuck Geese again nice notes there @Carbine will give yyou guys the extended range and better knockdown power etc.
But yes I'd stick with the no-tox during the season to save the heassel of a discussion.
