For years I have been trying to get the wife to go hunting. Other than a few coyotes and squirrels she has never enjoyed hunting.
Well this time I want to make it different! One of her girl friends went goose hunting and said how much fun it was so not the Mrs wants to go. She knows that it is mostly a game of sit and wait. But I got a good blind and bought a small heater to help with the cold. I will also bring some hot water for Coco. I also have access to a fair amount of decoys. I have seen geese on this field every morning and evening.
Now for the down side. She likes my Lever action Chiappa 1887. I feel it is a good gun but it is only chambered in 2 3/4 inch rounds. Is there a good 2 3/4 inch round? Remember this is migratory birds so no lead is allowed. Though I am more than willing to use premium ammo such as heavy shot or black cloud to make her hunt better.
Any other advise to make the hunt more enjoyable for the Mrs.?
p.s. I have invited the wife's friend and husband to come along as well.
