Yogi000 - that would have been hilarious to watch, that's for sure. Can you imagine how that #8 shot load would be on pass shooting teal over decoys? Gives 'flock' shooting a whole new meaning. I once killed 27 snipe with one shot from a 10 bore, using a spreader load with 2 oz. 8 1/2's. Your 4 bore would make that look like a .410 pattern!

You might be right - I do think I need one of those. It will sure bring some stares in 'bear' camp when I tell Ela (cook) that's what I'm going to protect her kids and her with. Perhaps a double flint blunderbus with a bit less 'trumpet? Now THAT sounds liek a fun project.
