Nothing will put a smile on your face like pulling the trigger on a 8 gauge.
You should get one never can tell when you might have a mute swan problem haha.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for my budget), Missouri bans the use of anything larger than a 10 gauge for any hunting. I will say that the 8s I've seen come up for sale at Rock Island have been eye catching...and tempting.
Enjoy your big guns!
