Beav, be a super sniper and crack shot and just use a heavy subsonic .22 half way between the eye and ear. ....you know....like grandpa taught us. Well since these threads are monitored by the DNR I won't comment on what grand pa taught us. We use to set nets for mallards back In the day. LOL

I love my cheap little .410 and I have ammo for every critter in Texas from rattle snakes to wild hogs. Our states are bad to dictate how we take game but if the world went to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) in a hand basket and I was required to keep everyone fed I could carry a .22lr and a .410 with absolute confidence.

If you are a good hunter and hunt for sport a 410 is fine.You just need the skills to get close to the game,(or get the game close to you) for the kill shot with whatever weapon you use. If you want meat and no screwing around get a good rifle.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Pure n simple. Will it kill stuff, sure will. So will a .22 lr. A .410 is for the road warriors that wanna poke a ruffie out the window whilst driving a back country road .
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

20 ga slug is great.ventilates real well-in one side and out the other. 410 not so great. I love a 20 ga.I carried a savage 222/20 for years in the bush.Could kill anything. I was going to say the same thing, use a 20 gauge. There is a huge difference in killing power between a 20 gauge and a 410. With a 410 you will cripple more than you will kill. I wouldn't use a 410 for much more than squirrels.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

My go to coyote gun Is my 410. A load of 4s at 30 feet puts that trapped coyote down with little or no damage.

Like every other discussion involving, "will this kill that", its all about shot placement. If you are a doubter, ask yourself how far away from a skilled shooter who is infinitely familiar with the round would you be comfortable in him shooting in your direction. put me down for 1 1/2 of maximum ordinate I like a cushion
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Well, I killed a brown bear with a 22 once, but I wouldn't recommend it. I also wouldn't recommend a 410 for deer in any circumstance other than in an emergency. Particularly in the hands of a novice hunter.
