But this seemed like a weirdo even to me.
The husband is always picking up old magazines and articles about days gone by… probably in a vain attempt to identify the piles of crap he collects.
I don’t usually read them but hey, there’s a global pandemic and I tend to twitch if I run out of books.
Like I said, I don’t know much about guns..
But this does seem a trifle excessive.
For ducks it’s definitely excessive. There are some pretty mean geese out there though…

Especially for waterfowl. They must have had really poor eyesight or were really BAD shots.

The reasoning was that ducks and geese float when shot, and these guns had enough shot in them to take out an entire flock on the water. In spite of their size, they didn’t have a lot of range and the hunter had to get very close to the ducks … they had almost wiped out entire species of ducks and geese in the 20’s with these guns. Where I lived, it took 30 years for the migratory bird flocks to return to normal after professional shooters were banned …

If you think the shotgun is over sized and heavy, imagine the shells that went into the damn thing? Oh, as a warning, this gun has just a little jot when you fire it.
