The Goose Factory

Canada is waterfowling’s field of dreams, and the Saskatchewan prairie is the epicenter where birds breed and the seasonal southern migration really kicks off. 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.

The Browning A5 Wicked Wing is a reliable autoloading duck hunting shotgun with Kinematic Drive recoil operation, a composite stock with Browning AURIC Concealment, Cerakote Burnt Bronze on the barrel, an oversized bolt release, extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes, and corrosion-resistant chrome bore. ABS case included.

It includes a Cerakote Burnt Bronze camo finish on the receiver, Burnt Bronze finish on the barrel, composite stock with Browning AURIC Concealment and rubber overmolding, oversized controls, and three extended Invector-Plus Goose Band choke tubes.
