Seems interesting a 28 would do the job. What load are you using

Thanksgiving hunt

Yep, my Dad went through the same thing
Happy Thanksgiving y’all. In tree since 6:30. Jump a shooter buck with big does driving into property this morning. Had 5 does walk by me around 8am. Nothing since. Heading down at 10. Good luck!
Winchester 2¾" #6 with an improved cylinder choke. It folded em! I don't use a 12ga for anything but open water ducks and turkeys now.
High brass or low brass. I've had a 28, just don't remember if that was an option. Yea, I started hunting with a 20 some years ago. Was doing a lot of walking and that extra lb made a difference in how I felt at the end of the day. Haven't got confident enough about the 410 yet even though that's what I used when I was a kid. I do know those that do use the 410 though
Good Luck and hunt safe. Use to rabbit hunt every Thanksgiving with my Dad.Now a days I just eat dinner and think of those times
This was the only steel 28ga I was able to find in time for the hunt this morning. It's low brass. It worked like a champ though.

While I was breaking green beans in the breakfast bay window I had 4 does walk by across the ridge. I said I’m going to get my rifle for what might be behind them. The wife said keep breaking beans. She said the last time you did that your 9 pointer being taken to the processor caused every body to have to eat late. Sooooo I just kept breaking beans. Lol. Always tomorrow
It appears to be high velocity at 1300fps. I do like #6s. Slower velocity tends to have a better pattern at @1100fps, less flyers due to lead deforming from higher recoil. It certainly worked for you. No need to change anything.....Thanks for all the info
God bless you Biker
