Of the two great published spoof stories I can remember, one involved a 20 gauge German spring action air shotgun where the guy used number 8 shot and shot only at the goose's throat from directly underneath the overflying bird. He used a set of tiny 6 inch long decoys designed to fool the geese into thinking they were higher than they were, to lure them down to about 20 yards off the deck so that the 8's would penetrate. Must have been about 25 years ago in Field and Stream or some such. Took me about 3/4 of the article before I figured out the guy was pulling legs. (The other was in Road and Track and involved an engine in a vintage Hispano-Suiza sportscar that had burled walnut exhaust valves, giving the car's exhaust a distinctly "nutty" aroma. I didn't fall for that one.). Personally, I need the ounce and 5/8ths of steel BB's my Spanish 10 gauge throws to get the job done. Turkeys may be another story. Have fun!
