In this neck of the woods, the ADC (Animal Damage Control) used Beretta A302 12 guage with 34 count pellet #4 buck magnum and a modified choke. Range out to 100 yds. from an Artic Tern Piper. Rolls 'em up like bread dough. Easy to repair holes too! I've used a Mosberg 500 in Cyl. choke out to 60 yrds with no problem. When calling, the first round is Mag BBs then the next 4 rounds are #4 buck 27 count. I use a Bushmaster when I'm driving though 'cause I always see them when they are in 4th gear and LOW to the ground!
