Poll: What do you consider skybusting?

Goosey

What do you consider skybusting? Anything over 40 yards? 60 yards? Or is it up to the individual?

I remember Thom Gabrukiewicz create an small uproar with a 2005 article entitled "Duck, duck goose", apparently he claimed it was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.

I dunno, I think you can hit those snows," Jerry Springer chides from the duck blind to my right.

"Yeah, give it a try, blast away," Terry Knight adds, hunkered down in a rice field blind next to Butte Sink.

The challenge made, I pop up from the blind and send up three quick blasts from my Winchester Model 1400.

The birds are at least a 150 yards in the air. And a snow falls into the flooded rice field with all the flourish of a fat man doing a cannonball.

"I don't believe it," Springer says. "I was kidding."

And for the next two hours, we make companies like Federal and Remington a little richer by going after the snows.

Sure, the results are mixed. Four hunters, five hours of shooting a total of five boxes of shells -- and two snow geese downed, out of the thousands that passed.

At first I thought this was about football, now I think it's about hunting?

Try not to ask this on a pop music forum next time.

Carelessly blasting at waterfowl that are out of one's range, it leads to wounded or unrecovered birds and ruins hunting opportunities for others nearby who are trying to get birds over their decoys, the misses also educate the birds who will be more wary next time.
