GuideGun,
The real cost there would be the patterning the gun with various chokes and at various ranges. Been there with my Benelli M1 turkey/coyote gun. Once you get over that hump, it's not too bad for turkey hunting. I shoot quite a few shells while predator hunting over a long winter. Rick shooting at those #1@√¥¶£ quail probably shoots quite a bit (nothing implied about your wingshooting prowess Rick). Turkey hunting would be very inexpensive compared to those two situations.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
