I’m going to take one of these two . 2 ounces of #6’s in the right barrel and 2 ounces of #4’s in the left barrel .

I think either of those 8-bores will deliver the message you want to send.

Biggest question in the equation is if I can get my butt out the bed and go ! For me it’s a lot harder to get up early in the spring than it is in the fall .

Just as a question.... In Illinois we are allowed to use any shotgun from 20 ga up to 10 ga. What states are you hunting that allow 8 ga. guns ? And, do your regulations specifically say 8 ga. is legal ?
Oh, yea, #4 shot is the biggest shot allowed in IL Thanks

That's the problem a couple of my hunting buddies experience. They watch, squinting in the early sunrise from the camp windows down across 450 yards of corn stubble to the edge of the woods as the longbeards topple and for a few seconds flap weakly on the ground and a second or two later they hear the "POW" of my gun. I get out there when the stars are still out and they just roll over in their sleeping bags as I noisily stoke up the fire and curse their lazy carcasses just before I step outside. .

My question exactly. However, and dont shoot (the pun is intended) the messenger but.... I can see the wardens going nuts having to figure out the length and weight of a given 8 ga legal load just like when we changed to Non Tox for waterfowl. They would need a scale etc. and so many wardens now days dont come from hunting/shooting backgrounds that they dont even know about older shotguns and loads. I suspect the various agency's would have to run workshops for their wardens/CPO's, and as you having been in the education business like I was for 37 years, I think that could be a cluster. Let me state, I am all for it.
