[QUOTE="HighKnob, post: 620907, member: 21700"] You are just doing head shots with the 22-250 aren't you? Anything in the body hard enough to not destroy meat won't kill fast enough and anything soft enough will distroy too much meat. I've seen some birds killed with 222 loaded down to about 2800 with a 55 gr. soft point and they didn't do to bad. A good 12 gauge 3 or 3.5 inch extra full shotgun with some brand of the new "hevi" type shot in size 5 or 6 should come close to killing a bird with a head shot out to 50 yards. Souldn't be to much trouble to get one that close. I'd try a box or slate call, easy enough to learn and great sound out of either. Mouth calls take a bit more practice. [/QUOTE]
