I'm with frizzellr. The best brush gun is the one you DON'T hit brush with. Something with a scope so you will pick up obstacles in your line of sight, and a fast, high spin bullet that will stabilize quickly if you do hit something.

What difference does it make how quickly it stabilizes after hitting something?

I guarentee you, if you hit brush with a high speed bullet, AND WHEN, AND IF it stabilizes, it is sure to be traveling at a different angle than when it hit the brush.......

If you want to get thru brush, you have to have a heavy (and slower?) bullet. I just shot a fox a few hours ago with my flint lock. He was in brush so thick, that I could barely make out his outline, but the bullet plowed straight thru, and hit dead on.

Yes, I know someone is going to say you are only supposed to take clear shots..........well, when you have so many fox, that they have your archery kills partly eaten till you get to them.............. something has to be done.

For those of you who do not bow hunt, unless you absolutely know where you hit them, see or hear your deer go down, ya gotta wait 2 to 3 hours to go after them, or risk them jumping up, running & losing the. By that time, if they did go down immidately, the foxes have found, and begun to eat them!<img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

We have consulted with several butchers, and they have advised us not to eat any deer that the foxes have already been eating, as if they started before the deer was totally dead, and the fox/coyote had rabies, it can draw thru all the meat!!!
