Getting rid of one gun to make room for another????
I've never seen a space problem for guns that couldn't be solved by another safe.  |

Mark, those photos are incredible. So beautifully positioned.
And i had to laugh at Skeettx's comment. I've never shot a goose with anything bigger than #4 coming out of a 2 3/4" shell Kids these days! . Haha! |

| That 16 is one sweet looking gun!!! And I agree with AmericanMeet I think another safe would solve your problem. |

UDF,
all I can say about that 16ga Husky is this.
Phenomenal.
What a beautiful piece. I'd be hard pressed to find one to its equal
Now, the more amazing part of your post is the fact you added a 1" piece back on to the stock and made it invisible. That in itself is simply outstanding.
Excellent job. Excellent. |

Great stuff, but why such a small limit on those vermin? They have special late season allowing unplugged guns on them and electronic calls, and no bag limit, trying to kill as many as possible in the central flyway.

The snow geese in NW WA originate on Wrangell Island in Siberia; not the Hudson's Bay area of Canada with the over population problem of geese. |

Thank you Danny and everyone else for the kind words. I consider myself blessed and don't take any of these experiences for granted. Life is good, and I'm very, very thankful. It's fun to have like-minded people to share these experiences with too. Thanks for listening  |

If the Model 44 was a person she'd be a centerfold.  |

| Mark, how are those geese on the table? A buddy hunts ducks and geese in Saskatchewan and claims that the early migrant Snows are fine in the pan. It seems the further south they go they are not as palatable. Gil |

No worries. I should probably change my user name and just use my name. |

I don't know yet. I've heard both good and bad. I'll let you know. That's one of the main reasons I'm not a more avid waterfowler. I'd much rather eat a chukar or quail than a duck. |

On my snow goose hunt, everyone I talked to said grind them for sausage. I didn't even try eating them, just gave them to another hunter. I can tell you I've never figured out a way to cook a palatable Canada, despite trying every method imaginable. Finally gave up goose hunting when I transferred from the Pentagon. Those hunts on the Eastern Shore were my only touch with sanity on that tour. Those pit blinds in the dead of winter could freeze the ornaments off a brass monkey. |

Fellas,
I have to agree, an entire goose, no matter what kind, roasted like a turkey or a chicken carries the similar taste that I would associate with sewer sludge.
HOWEVER....if you were to simply breast out the birds into two large filets, wrap them in Applewood bacon, and marinate them in Italian dressing for about an hour while the charcoal grill warms, you would end up with an absolutely delicious meal. The key is to not overcook them in the least. Think medium well as an absolute stopping point. Anything past that produces an asphalt shingle style meal. |

Danny that isn't much of a testimony to the virtues of eating geese! You can take about anything and wrap it in bacon and make it edible.
