    if theyre low enough ,set up blind decoys ,beer fridge &bbq amongst your dekes in the backyard. got that.
    right now carefuelly ..carefully call the buggers in and as the guts's smell that luvly bbq aroma ,they ll pause for a second.idle hungry buggers these geese.
    let rip with the shot and hopefully the bugger will drop out of the sky onto the bbq and cook whilst you climb out ,amble over and grab a celebratory beer ,have a scratch ,reload then set yaself up all over again.
    By the third bird ,If youre on song,the first should be cooked or at least singed ,and ,i daresay the bbq will be a tad crowded on the cooking department.
    you do realise once you have gooseshooters drop its terminal dont you.
    only cure is the firing of endless 12g 3"steel rds and muffled curses as they whizz past goose bums at hi speed!I know athis cause its exactly what happens to me at ellesmere!!geese are known to die from laughing at my efforts.
    Best of british and hook into it!

    When are you going up UU?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
