that was a terrible response from the landowner. Don't give up, you will get more no's, but they should just be just that, no other nonsense. You should pattern your gun using I agree a medium chock. Different shells will give way different patterns. It can be amazing how strange the patterns can be with different brands. That same brand could be just fine out of a different gun.

Solid, I will keep a look out for that.

Yah I know but what can you do eh, and I never knew chockes and shots could be complex in a way, I'm gonna try to pattern and see what works best

Sorry you got a bad response knocking on doors but it happens. Don't let it discourage you knocking on doors is the best way to get access to private property. In Ottawa most land is private. But there is some crown such as Marlborough forest.

Some of members from the Ottawa area occasionally get together for a breakfast to discuss hunting you are welcome to join we are planning for Oct 29th in Kemptville.

Ok good to know, so far hasn't jammed on me yet, I used 2 3/5 and 3", but did not know about the releasing the chamber button that's how I load lol, I always had pump and break action back in the days, so I'll load I'd differently.

As far as knocking on doors yah I figured to never wear hunting gear lol that would look really bad, so I'll start on the look out for Mennonites farms around Ottawa maybe bit out further doesn't matter, I'm hoping to find one spot at least and get me some geese this season before season ends, never shout one before so I'm very pumped and hopeful I'll find a spot this season.

Basically loading throw 1 shell in the open action press the big button to slam the chamber shut then load the last 2 shells from underneath.

ONCE you're loaded DO NOT press either the round button or the release button ( smaller thinner button over the trigger area i believe). If you hit either of them before squeezing the trigger , the gun will not fire or will jam.

When unloading hit the release button and pull the bolt back. A shell will come out and another will replace it once you let the chamber slam back shut you should be able to pull the bolt back again and the other shell will come out or you may have to hit the release button again to make it cycle again.

Yup that's how I load, and ok I'll unload that way, usually I let the chamber back snd the other 2 I release them from the bottom, but besides that gun is beautiful, still getting use to the all black gun, use to brown stock lol

Welcome to the world of hunting ! We all started knowing nothing and in my case after 50 plus years of hunting still learn something new all the time. As for disappointment ? Get use to it ! There's a price to pay for experience and disappointment is only part of the bill. LoL ! Hooking up with other hunters in your area would be a huge help and finding a mentor would be golden.
