Thread: Shooting Possums in trees

I've had falling shotgun pellets all around me. They're just falling pellets. Not the same as being caught in the trajectory though! My problem with a shotgun is how one caries 100 shotshells around? Then there is the noise. So one day I bought a single shot shotty with the idea of suppressing it. That would mean loading subsonic rounds. Reloading shotshells? Well yes, I have a Lee shot shell loader already. A suppressed shotgun is going to be a bit longer than a 22 but won't be too bad. I'm figuring on fitting a scope to it just to actually see and identify the target. Thinking of that, I once saw an owl where a possum might be expected to be but I new about owls and their eyes are slightly different to possums eyes but in the trees one could shoot an owl by mistake!
