Zackcorbin1401 542 Report post Posted October 4, 2021 What does everybody use for them bush chickens. Shotgun or rimfire? myself I use a 12ga #5-6 shot and I’m good out to atleast 40 yards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brookiebuster 117 Report post Posted October 4, 2021 I used to use a .22, but lately I’ve been grabbing the 12 shooting #6’s. definitely don’t worry about them getting away. Put the bead above their head and no wasted meat. Quote "Whack em' and stack em',kill em' and grill em'" Ted Nugent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eyelander 164 Report post Posted October 7, 2021 I use both. A .410 when the bush is thick, a .22 w/scope when the leaves are down. Quote Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retriever 15 Report post Posted October 7, 2021 Over 50 years of using a 4:10, 3 inch shells #4 or 5. Great in all conditions, you can't go wrong with a 4:10 for grouse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foozer 194 Report post Posted October 8, 2021 My grandfathers .410 will always be my favourite. I like #6 or #7.5. My oldest daughter has now used the same gun so it’s been harvesting dinners for 4 generations. 2 Quote Since we can not call female anglers "fisherman" We should just call 'em hookers.....

Nice 410, I recently sold my bolt action 410 and I’m seriously regretting doing that… was one of my favourite guns. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best way i used to explain it to everyone is we stand at 5 yards apart. Ill hold a handfull of rocks and you hold a handfull of pebbles. Ill let you throw yer pebbles at me first. Then Ill theow my rocks and see who feels what! lol. Quote Grumpas' Baits Check it out on FB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rceme74 20 Report post Posted October 31, 2021 12 Gauge with #8 works pretty good. I have just purchased a .410. Kind of nice not being on the business end for a change. Use #6 . very impressed with the accuracy through the brush. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
