Steve, I live on Cape Cod but hunt mainly in Maine and have hunted in Texas, Pa, Vt and NH also. Make the first shot count, that is what true hunting is all about, These Handi's are all you need for our lower 48 game animals if you do your job. Of course a friend in NH who owns an apple orchard had to shoot a bear out of season 2 years ago which had killed one his pigs (annual pig roast!!) and was trying to fill the second one when he ran from his home in his underwear through his orchard to his pig pen area and used a 870 with buckshot and slugs loaded alternately to dispatch the problem bear as it charged him!!!, no problem with the natural resources officers (game wardens) or police, it worked for him....<><.... :grin:
