DocGP Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 OK, I have never been goose hunting, and an M4 is what I have. How important is barrel length?? Wouldn't the M4 work just as good with the right choke? Regular full choke or something else for steel goose shot? Thanks Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty or death Jr. Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'm not sure if it is every state, but I think most states forbid the use of a tactical shotgun for bird hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 The gun will work fine. The hard part will be getting close enough to club the goose with it. Go buy a duck, they taste better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Barrel length makes little difference with regard to velocity and pattern, but it does help with targeting in wingshooting. If you're talking about Canada geese, then you'll need to be able to restrict the gun's capacity to 2 + 1. If you're talking about snows, then you may not need to limit the capacity. Check local regulations carefully. If still in doubt, contact a local game officer for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photopro Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Tucker, do you have a shooting restriction on Canada's in the states? If so we are the reverse here, we've got squadrons of them. They have recently added them to the "Pest Species" list which allows unretricted shooting if they are causing a problem. They aren't the best tasting bird though I must admit. photopro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
