Before the leaves drop I have a hankerin' to walk and stalk some local yotes in heavy grass, sage brush, russian olive thickets and river bottom. Pretty thick walking. If one strolls quite slowly shooting opportunities present themselves.
Shots are usually very close. I looked at some pump and semi auto shotguns this afternoon. There seems to be a good selection of reasonably priced pumps and semis.
The reason for looking is that my trusty old Ithaca 51 is a 2 3/4 chamber and I figured I couldn't get enough large shot in there to do the job.
But I snagged some Federal Power Shok #4 buck (27 pellets) @ 1325 FPS.
What's the odds of success at what distances?
Thanks in advance.
