Wow- what range, shot size and chokes were these gunners using.? Tall birds indeed.. I've seen some videos of British gunner George Digweed, noticed the principal gunner in this video was also using a 12 bore Under/Over, as does Digweed.
I wonder how many of those "tall" fezzants hit the ground dead, and what % might have been lost without those fine Spaniels doing the retrieving.
Since steel shot became mandatory for waterfowling, I prefer to take geese and mallards at or below tree-top level, and either incoming or crossing shots. I'd guesstimate my average shots at waterfowl are under 30 yards, especially in the later part of the season(s) here.
I'm am also guessing that I would miss way more than I'd even hit (not dead in the air, but hit) even if they would let me use my favorite M12 30" Full solid rib.
