Nick shot a spike a few years ago and we couldn't even find one of its antlers smile

Usually a good shot to the lungs that hits well results in the now familiar and expected back flop...they tip up on their hind legs, and go over backwards...they may kick a bit, but they are dead dead dead.

The knock down power of 00 buckshot from 15 to 30 yards is crazy heavy...nine .32 caliber BBs traveling at high speed can do some damage...and if you shoot Nick's gun, that shoots 3 1/2 inch magnums, you get 12 of those BBs.

Keith, I'ma go look up that shell right now!

Fish on...

I ordered a couple boxes this year of the 3" HEVI shot 00 Buck from Optics Planet or something like that. They ain't cheap, but I'm telling you that nothing I mean nothing hit's harder than these things... That one that did the triple axle for me was about 40 yards and I put the bead right at the base of her neck as she was 45 degree angle walking from me, caught her with 4 or 5 of the pellets neck to head...

It isn't cheap but worth every penny in entertainment when you pull the trigger...
