I just bought an old H&R Model 176 10ga w/ a 36' barrel for goose hunting. I had hoped to get out with it today as it was the last day for geese in my area. I hope to get over to the western shore of maryland and shoot a few over there. If not there is always next year. I've done a little bit of goose hunting with my deluxe model topper 12ga. As a teen ager I shot ducks and geese with my model 198 deluxe model topper 20ga. Between work,wife kid, and deaths in the family hunting was pretty much a bust this year.Where are you hunting?
