joe: now that you have made an intelligent post, i will now favor you with an intelligent response. yes, if one does not have benefit of a scoped 22, then a full choked load of 6's from a 410 at about 20 yards may work, some of the time. here in nh, we got tough critters. they need a lota killin. a 22 hollow point in the head does the job here, cleanly and quickly. you may not comprehend what i am sayin here, but we owe em at least that....
