...it was a 3" mag. with a long barrel, and I took my time and aimed it like a rifle. It dropped like a rock. Extra Extra Full. We were shocked.

I have witnesses !!!

I still don't use anything smaller than 12ga. though. The preserve owner handed me his old Ithaca 37, stamped State Police, since the exec. types I was shooting with thought my 20", rifle-sighted, mag. extended 870 Police looked too military. I smirked when I saw the Poly-Choke...and determined to perform some redeeming stunt. The big bird was shot at repeatedly by the "experts," I said "I've got him," cranked the choke, licked my thumb and touched the front bead like Jed Clampett...the bird slowed at the trees at the end of the cornfield, KNOWING he was out of range...spread his wings, boom...dropped like a rock. I blew the smoke off the muzzle, as we gloating wise-asses did back then...and the preserve owner said..."very impressive." I was hated from that day forward.
