oh you mean spirited little man. :-)

we posted within two minutes of each other. Otherwise I would have lambasted you first, then posted my shotgun review.

so the bird I killed was from Canada, eh?

geez, judging from the date it was banded . . . I know what happened--that bird died of OLD AGE, right there, in midair!

probably died of fright just looking down the tubes of that 10 gauge cannon you use to skybust other fellers' birds. :-)

Well, I looked back at the autopsy report of this bird in question. Way too many big ass BB Federal iron-tungsten pellets (from my 10 gauge dragoon of doom), with their funny antiqued sheen, to rule me out. However, and now I recall your rays of hope, there were these random steel #2's found somewhere near the tail feathers region. Tantillo's or O'Connor's? Inquiring minds want to know.

And now for a quote:

"As a final note it is my thinking that when you have tied up with a company that can take out a Russian built T-80 main battle tank with eight inch armor at 4000 yards by way of a very big rifle bullet, your in the drivers seat when it comes to upgraded waterfowl and upland sporting ammunition for some time to come. This new picture of Federal Cartridge is just starting to develop."

For more on how to kill Jim's birds for him, see:

The link is dated, as is the story about the banded goose. Hence the quaint historical revisionism.

But I sure do remember Tantillo pasting that mallard. THAT was a fine shot.
