Re: What you hunt with your 870?
With the way the economy is going and the trouble our country is in, it just might be coming to that here soon. LOL Nah, the critters that I do shoot on a regular basis are just varmints around here. They will eat your garden down to the nub, so it is more or less control of the population. During springtime we see a huge influxe of these guys and they have to be maintained to a degree. But let me tell you it is alot of fun.

I agree with you gypsydan41. Varmints need to be controlled, sometimes by my hand
Where I live in Canada, farmers will sometimes give you ammunition(and sometimes a beer once the guns are put away) just for coming out to help with the pest problem.

Re: What you hunt with your 870?
Oh yeah, one time I was working out of town in Wyoming and found a older man in the local bar who turned out to be a farmer, he gave us bricks of rimfire 22's to go get prairie dog's. I have never ever shot so many animal's in one day in my whole life, it turned out to be a source of entertainment for many weeks out there in those fields and the farmer could not have been more happy. I have been back there on several trips with alot of different firearms. I hope to go back sometime in Aug. And testout the 408 Cheytec.
