The Goose Factory: Saskatchewan Prairie Waterfowl Hunt

In Canada's Saskatchewan prairie, WILDFOWL Editor Skip Knowles and friends test new Browning gear on ducks and geese.

WILDFOWL Editor Skip Knowles launches the 2022 season with a crew of eager friends in late September to test out the Browning A5 and Maxus ll shotguns and Wicked Wing gear in the versatile new Auric waterfowl pattern on piles of ducks and geese.
