Goose hunt?

(1/5) > >>

clewis:
Hi folks, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience hunting Canadian geese (lesser and greater) with a primitive setup? Blunts, stone tips etc, I’m just curious to see what works for ya.

Thanks

As close as I've come was crawling up on some feeding in a corn field and when they took off I barely missed one with a broadhead flying.

No offense intended, but if you want to kill geese use a shotgun. I kill a lot of geese and I would bet one can fly a long way before dying with an arrow through it. The lungs and heart is a very small kill area. If you want to go primitive use a smokepole.  ;D

Last time I was killing geese one buddy would take shots, I and my buddy would pass on. Me and my dog would have to walk 700 yards after wounded birds and her run them down so I could windmill them and put them down. You're likely to end up having the same issue and without a trained dog it would be very difficult.

Hawkdancer:
We see pictures on the news rather often of geese with arrows - not a good image for real Hunter's to put forth!  There is a web type point that is supposed to tangle up the wings and bring them down, but I have never seen seen it used.  Might try throwing a bolo at them!  LikeRob says, use a shotgun of some sort!

Use the same setup as deer, a razor sharp broadhead, if your going to give a try. They are tough birds and a shotguns is recommended.
