Good deal.
I had a skein of 24 geese fly low over the house yesterday morning.

Nice guns, good shooting. But that is the worst hunting car . . . :-)

I see a Greener and what is probably a Webley & Scott sourced gun.
There’s enough down on those geese to make a big pillow!
It ain't whether you hit a bird that matters, it's the fun you have even if you don't.

Both are WW Greener Empires; mine a 28” ejector gun with top safety, and my friends a 32” extractor w/side safety.
We were both shooting 1 1/16oz of bismuth #6 at 1300. It did a number on the geese inside 25yds, granted it was supposed to be for teal.

I love my 30", 3.25" chambered Empire, but not the side safety. What was W.W. thinking?

There’s enough down on those geese to make a big pillow! Our Hutterite friends in Saskatchewan handle the picking of our geese for a fair charge and sell us back our feathers and down in pillows and comforters that are almost too hot to sleep in. That's probably just because I live in south GA...Geo Reminds me of the guy near my farm who I let harvest fallen hardwoods to split for firewood. He then sells me back my own wood for campfire purposes. I never said I was a great business man!
