I'll check out that Hornady Ammo when I go to town. My pistol is a Sig Sauer .45 ACP with a 5" barrel I believe. I thought it would be enough gun to put them down at close range.

I've given a lot of thought to a small shotgun with buckshot but I really like the hunter having a rifle with us just in case we need it. I just don't see myself carrying anything more than a pistol. We just get into too much thick stuff that I need to be able to easily move through while still watching the dog and GPS unit in my hand.
