lead still kills

[frank1969]

here in pa we had our youth hunt 5 kids i know got birds mine was one 4 shot 20s with win xx mag #5  shots were taken at 10 yards /  2 at 20 / 1 at at a laserd 41/and the last at 32 all one shot kills my son is the one that shot at 10 yards he has killed 3 longbeards in 3 years his longest shot with his 1187 remy 20 as 15 yards  the jist of this is if you do your job you dont need nitros or heavy shot i think its time to get back to hunting and not just killing to brag and post a pic i read post of 50 and 60 yard kills bring them in tight and respect the bird

I'm the only guy out of all my buddies that shoots hevi shot and this will be my first year using it. All the rest are using lead 4's and 5's and no one can say they've had a bird get away. Lead is still what 90% of the folks around here shoot. They look at the price of hevi and just say no thanks if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Congrats on the pile of birds.
