There was only about 6 of them. They jumped at about 35 yards or so, killing one might have been possible, maybe. Not with a cylinder choke tho. Got a ltltle regroup music from them when I was listening for the big birds.
I don't understand why they had such a rapid decline, it just doesn't add up to me, there has always been predation and other factors. Seems like logging would help them. Logging and mining rules here where I hunt, why isn't there more birds?
