I use a shotgun for turkey hunting, and not much else. Don't duck or goose hunt anymore. No pheasants here. Don't dove hunt. Don't own a bird dog anymore, cause the quail population is practically zero. The only rabbits and squirrels I shoot are the ones that get too close to the house and gardens, and then I use whatever I can get my hands on first.......usually a 22, but sometimes a 410 single shot that's a 100 years old.

There was a time when I used a shotgun for practically everything, including deer.
