Goose Hunting and Nuisance Hunting

        My brothers, a friend, and I tried to do a goose hunt on Friday since we didn't have school. No birds would commit to our spread, but luckily a pond we have permission to hunt was loaded with birds and we managed to kill 4. Not pointing any fingers but there were 2 hunters with us that didn't single out birds and flung a lot of steel "at the flock" and missed completely. We also shot 3 starlings with some cheap old #4 steel we had for cripples, and we shot two pigeons with .22 CB longs at a local horse barn, completing half of the avian nuisance slam, we were missing a mute swan and house sparrows, we had no opportunities at either of those.

 

I finally shot the pigeon we have been watching for 3 years we named bandit (seen in both photos), if you look at its coloration, you can probably tell how it got this name (white and dark stripes like a cartoon escaped prisoner)
