The geese have been considered by me and by many for the longest time to be too tanky, even using some of the stronger ETHICAL shotguns don’t seem to take them down reliably in the air or even on land at the effectice range
This leads to frustration while hunting them because THEY WILL DIE, just not at the spot you shot them at which can be multiple yards or meters away and breaks up the flow of a goose hunt, which is especially frustrating when hunting magpie geese which only land in and around the mangroves
And keep in mind birds aren’t solidly built and are much more delicate than an equal sized mammal so for some people trying to argue that it’s more realistic for the geese to not be instantly dropped is a bit absurd
