That's what I want. I want something that would have a sound that anybody would recognize and run from. Does that model take birdshot in case I should ever have to shoot it? I'm not a total stranger to handling guns, because there were guns around everybody's house when I was growing up. Used to go squirrel hunting with a 22 rifle. I just don't know much about the different models.

You can arm just about any shotgun with whatever size shot you choose. I have shot rangeing in size from birdshot to buckshot to the rifled slugs.

Winchester has not made this model for several years, so it may be tricky to find. The last one I purchased a few months ago was located in the local fishwrap's classified section.

Have fun with the hunt and good luck with it. JL
