Had 3 try and silently back door us yesterday. They all paid. One was a big guy. My biggest goose with the 410.

Thats a big one Dave, well done.. with a 410!

I did see more of these this year.

Had a single fly low over my house this morning. Rarely see singles here. Guessing he was the only one that made it out alive.

That’s a good one … used to shoot lots of big Local Honkers in Fresno … back in the day on the goose forum there was a thread of who can shoot a 16lb or bigger goose , people say they don’t get that big .. They do …. Could be true with wild birds but these semi domestic honkers that feed all day long on junk food from people get fat …. And huge .. Ive mounted one over 19 and a 17… many in the 13/15 lb class … Big Ones … you got figure all that junk food and little exercise they get huge ..

This stuff makes me laugh. I have weighed many geese people swore weighed 20 lbs and I have never, ever weighed on over the 12 lb mark. Fat stupid golf course geese that didn't fly a mile a day.

I will donate 100 dollars to CWA for every Honker weighed on a certified scale and weighs over 12 lbs, posted up here. They are like finding a virgin in a ***** house.

I haven’t weighed any, but we shoot some massive honkers. This one my buddy is holding was hatched in 2016 or earlier shot December 2020. Not the biggest I’ve seen, but it’s big. The guy is 6foot 1 for reference.

They did a giveaway on here where anyone who could produce a 20lb honker won a dozen DropZone decoys. Nobody came close. Every year it dropped until someone finally claimed it at 15.2 I think. That was hundreds of guys weighing thousands of geese...I weighed several hundred myself. 19-20 pound honks simply don't exist.

I weighed two over 13, one just over 14 trying to win the above mentioned contest. That was over four years weighing geese that weren't all mine. Had a whole network of guys weighing birds.
