How many people shoot geese with buckshot? I'd think they'd tend to either miss, or blow the birds apart...

How many people shoot geese with buckshot?Those who don't have suitable birdshot. In the excerpted text, they used buckshot and pellets three times each, IIRC.

How many people shoot geese with buckshot? My guess is, reporter and doctor are using "buckshot" as a general term for "shotgun pellet" - not realizing buckshot is a fairly specific term.
