A G A , it was 3in mag sg ,from about 20 ft .....it was over kill, if there is such a thing in these circumstances . Having done a lot of call outs to r t a's I find it best to be prepared, I normally have sg in one barrel and 4s in the other. if its down I use the 4s if its standing I use the sg .I will often use the 22 as well on deer that are immobile , its very quite & discrete , I don't like using the 12 if there are people about unless its absolutely necessary , I think it looks a bit dramatic ..
