Where's the challenge? I have to tell ya to have the time of your life and to really enjoy the hunt, use a shotgun. You are missing the hunt if you use a rifle, kinda like use artillary for deer. You have accomplished something getting that bird within 40 yards and looked him/her in the eyes. This is just my opinion but i really think you would have a better time with a shotgun and even better time with a bow. Anyway be safe out there and good luck
