Anybody ot suggestions for shot placement or ammo?
Thanks




Just go shoot a shotgun at them and you realize what a huge waste of money that is over your .22 rimfire. I have killed many thousand birds here in Alaska ruffs, sagehens and pharmingen with a rimfire, just can't stand the thought of using a shotgun on them.
