I looked every where to find one of those to post here and couldn't remember what it was called. :lol:
it took me a while too. I read a book where the author was hunting in Argentina he said local kids there set up in a busy duck flyway and toss these up into huge flocks of passing birds and actually get them!

Opinions Wanted

Postby assateague » Thu Apr 10, 2014 10:07 am

My dad went to Argentina on a business trip when I was a kid, and brought me back one of those. I could never get the damn things to separate while spinning, and could only barely avoid cracking myself in the skull.

I thought about bolos too. Was afraid I'd get laughed at if I suggested it.

x2 on trapping them. Make a decent size, movable pen with chicken wire and light wood that you can peg to the ground. Bait the crap out of them with corn inside (and some on the outside for them to find), and a trap door held by something you can manipulate (string?). Sit back at a distance, and drop the hammer when they gather inside. Then you can pellet gun the crap out of them............sitting ducks.....errr geese :thumbsup:

Buy this and practice for a few days while feeding the geese and, Viola!

I want to try the small game heads for 2 reasons:

1. I already have them. No need to buy something.
2. I want the club effect rather than the knife effect. I've seen deer run a half mile with no heart from a broadhead. I suspect a goose could do the same.

If I could find something that weighed about 500 grains and looked like a rock, I'd use that instead. All I need is a stun which lasts maybe 4 seconds, so the bastards can't run away. If it goes through, that may be a bonus, but only if it falls dead, rather than swimming into the ponds and dying.


Why don't you just take a small ball bearing and glue it to the end of an arrow. Boom there's you're rock effect.

Thinking about this on my drive home. Solved your problem.

Slingshot. Not kidding. I got deadly with one as a kid.

Do they really pack that much of a punch?


And we're actively considering Nuff's idea, if we can find some free fencing or netting.

This is what I used to have as a kid. It was hell trying to get my mom to buy me more bands once I broke one. I also mainly used rocks because she wouldn't buy me the ball bearings. :lol:
