SHOTGUN-BEST GUN for WOUNDED GAME RECOVERY??
      26/07/06 02:47 AM

All of us will sooner or later shoot big game at dusk and have to track it in the dark.

If it is just whitetail country then a handgun may suffice but if it is the Northwest or Alaska and larger game such as elk/moose/bear are present then the chance of confronting a large wounded animal or opportunistic predator beast-bear/cougar/wolf is possible. I have actually been on a hunt where a bear intervened and made off with an downed elk!! It happens!!

My personal choice for tracking at night in the deep woods is a 12 ga Beretta if possible with/without mag extension as allowed.I load slugs for encounters of the dangerous kind and am planning on mounting a surefire flashlight on the foreend.

Any comments or suggestions for a better rig?? If you had a choice what would you take into the woods at night ?
