Depends on where you're getting them. As a child running free in W. Texas, I just walked my happy ass down to the grain mill with my single shot 12ga and could hit 12-15 with one shot. I'd take two, dress them when I got home, bag 'em up, and give them to my neighbor. Boredom can do strange things.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

Uh, unless an elk parks it's ass on your deck, most hunts are not "cost effective".

Dove: the expensive dark meat. Liverishous.

So, did he take the gun out and use it? Where's the report?

Spent a lot of time in the beginning just learning from my buddy on which birds are doves, didn't want to shoot anything that I wasn't supposed to.

At the very least regular shotgun shells aren't super expensive, so the cost to fun factor was great!

My boss went out with us on opening day using a $100 single shot break open 18" shotgun and was slaying birds. He even got a double kill with one shot. Good times..

If you use an HD shotgun with 00buck, can the little bastiges fly between the shot. Just asking for a friend...LOL.
