He sailed it up, they shot and missed. One guy says "I bet you won't let me shoot at it with my muzzle loader", to which hat guy replies "Go get it!"

Muzzle loader guy goes to his pickup to retrieve it, and when he comes back, hat flies, BOOM, and it's snowing goose down...
Seems he'd dumped about 2 ounces of #8 shot down on top of a healthy dose of black powder and wadding in his .58 laugh
