Default Bad Shot Dispatching

OK. We never like to admit it but sometime I (I mean we) make a bad shot. <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> Last year my 2nd bird was walking right to left and I stopped swinging my gun when I shot and hit him in the side. Fortunately it broke the left wing AND leg but the bird was a long way from being dead.

Here's my question: What is the best way to dispatch a wounded bird? I hated to unload another 2oz of shot at point blank range but was, honestly, a little intimidated by his big ol' flopping spurs.


Ended up doing it anyway. Notice the head's a LITTLE BIT messed up.
