And that Jim is why I shoot a .22 over under shotgun. If I see a bigger critter it gets the big load, something smaller gets the .22. I still hunt small game with a slingshot, rabbit, squirrel, etc. No lead = more food value.

I'm with you Phat, I swear I hit a B'quail dead in the head one day; walked over to it and it got up like a drunk and wobbled around then headed straight for the briar patch never to be seen again. Of course it was a marble shot with the ol' slingshot, but still <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, the bigger the caliber the farther I stay away from THOSE type hunters. If you place your shot properly you don't need a safari rifle caliber IME <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
