Mesa,
Funny thing I used to chase blues all over the mountains when bowhunting, but since I've switched to shotgun I can't buy a blue. Ruff is the normal victim. I'm not worried about the ruff, I normally get close when I'm picking berries and whatnot.
If I ever get within range of a blue I'll probably just throw the gun at them out of sheer surprise.
I hunt everything else with a 28 gauge SxS and 6 shot. Pheasant occasionally, chukar, quail, grouse. Deadly.
Thanks for the link Mesa, I'll go check that out!
