I've had a goose land in my arms after shooting it. ;-)

"...how many pellets do you think might have been left to kill the quail? " 28 gauge, 1 oz. load, cylinder, 30 yards: 100 pellets for victim, 310 for quail. 240 pellets are in a 30" pattern. 170 pellets outside the pattern, about 1/4 to one side. So the victim may have been in the pattern. Same conditions, full bore: 100 pellets for the victim, 310 for the quail. 410 are in a 30" pattern. Using a full bore on quail is unreasonable.

<<Ish, do you think Cheney was entirely free of fault? Was it all the other guy's mistake?>> I do. He should have yelled when he was out of position and wandered into the field of fire. <<Which one of the spinners is reported to have said that Cheney bagged the quail?>> On the radio. <<One of the networks reported that around a hundred pellets were embedded in Whittington, how many pellets do you think might have been left to kill the quail?>> One would do it for the quail. The report would be bullshit, 28 ga sticking 100 pellets in the lawyer would have been up close and killed him on the spot.
