Default rabbit with an 8guage shotgun

the other day my teacher told us a story about how his buddy was out rabbit hunting with his 8 guage shot gun during the deer season, so he had slugs with him. so he was walking along and found deer tracks so he took out the bullet he had for the rabbit and put in a slug to go after the deer. so he kept walking and well guess what, a rabbit came running along and he forgot he had the slug in and shot the rabbit with the slug. pretty much, the rabbit didnt exist anymore

i enjoyed that story quite a bit, plus it got him off topic from what he was teaching.

the first thing that made me get the BS card ready was him shooting a running rabbit with a slug.

Have they ever made 8 gauge slugs? Not that I know of.

Glad it works on your teachers, when I speak of hunting 1 out of 8 teachers will say something.

8 gauges aren't legal to hunting in the US.

I wouldn't know whats legal or other wise in other states but in Illinois years ago they used to mount 8 gauge shotguns on the front of boats and blast into flocks of ducks on the rivers. Now I'm still not so sure on the 8 gauge slug, #1 if they have them I'd love to see one. But, I wouldn't want to shoot one.

Something i would like to know is how he shot it running. For someone being a kid like you said its not to belivable and even for a seasoned hunter it would be difficult.
