Some years ago on the Old Prodigy Shooting Sports BB, Dean Spier posed some scenarios and the folks would analyse and add their two cents to the thread. Here's one I wrote for that, slightly adapted to the shotgun.
Folks are invited to read, analyse and figure out what they'd consider the best response, and post their opinions and views.
Here's the scenario....
It's a beautiful fall day, and Squirrel' season is open, along with Dove, rabbit and so on. Filled with an urge to return to the carefree days of youth and get in a little small game hunting. With a glad heart and a handful of shells you drive to a friend's family farm,where you've permission to hunt. The family now lives elsewhere,and the land is farmed by a neighbor. You park behind the barn and head into the woods with the shotgun .
The farm backs up onto a State forest, which you can also hunt. As you meander along, you spot and shoot various small game, and a pleasing weight hangs from the bag in back of your hunting vest. You enter an area more open than forest,and you notice some shrubs show signs of cultivation. As you recognize that they are Marijuana plants, a shout makes you turn and you see several men in camo some distance away,and they are armed with shoulder weapons. A shot rings out and leaves near you fall as you turn and run.
You've a handful of game loads, and two rounds of buck with you,left over from deer season. As yuo flee, you realize you've lost track of the way back, and your cell phone is back at the car.
Now, handle it.....
