I've never used a shotgun on cats and it's also said that PHC did a lot of his hunting in bars........and I don't know, or particularly care if that's true or not. I do know that he wrote some great books though.

But if I remember correctly, he claimed to use a very special shotgun that was sawn off at both ends and as long as the trigger was kept in the pulled position, it would shoot as fast as he could operate the pump......I also seem to remember that he kept the trigger wired back in that position. He was also very specific on the shot size, which I think was AAA.......so within that specification, I would guess that it would be a reasonably useful weapon on wounded Leopard at close range.......but I sure as hell wouldn't want to use one on a Lion. Actually, I'll personally stick with my rifle on all wounded game without wings.

But before we all criticise PHC too heavily, and without meaning any offence to anyone......hands up all those who can speak from personal experience rather than theory.
