You betcha Deano- that older Trojan 12 is my "go-to gun" for CQC against woodchucks, raccoons, possums, skunks and cats in barn outbuildings- getting on them with a scope sighted rifle in shadowy conditions is iffy-so both tubes are loaded with Trap loads- sure cuts them a new one-and no chance of a bullet richochet either! I have farmers that love to see me pull in to their driveway- the .243 Win means dead woodchucks and coyotes in their pastures, the old Parker 12 (or a Model 12) means dead varmints in the sheds and dead barn pigeons. And I like to kill vermin and crows and pigeons- On cats-I only kill them in the farm areas at the farmer's request- out in the fields or pastures, like woodchucks and coyotes and foxes- they are "Targets of Opportunity" for either my older Sako BA .243Win. (Leupold varmint scoped) or my Dad's older Model 70 SuperGrade .220 Swift (Zeiss scoped)--I grew up shooting them with Dad-and as a lad went to the Co. dump with my Winchester M61 .22LR and a couple boxes of hollow points-with my pals on Saturdays- and we shot rats until "Hell wouldn't have it!"
