614.145/410BTOVT::SILKI'M THE N.R.AThu Feb 22 1990 06:2920
    
    
     Purchased a 45/410 in the 16" barrel just before the holidays for
    Rabbit hunting.
    
     Haven't fired any 45's through it yet,but the 410 works real good
    on small game.
    
     I shot a partridge in my back yard last fall @ 32 paces.I was putting
    cedar siding on my house when we heard one drumming in the woods out
    back.My father inlaw spotted him on a log,I ran out front of the house
    to my truck,and grabbed my pistol.I had to belly crawl across my back
    lawn to get as close as I could.My father inlaw got a big kick out of this!!
                                     
     I would say 20 yards is a good range!!

    P.S- The 16" fits in a 14" uncle mikes holster,But not real well!!!

    Same one Nate has..
    
    The person we are talking about is Nate Mitchell. Well known Maine
    Guide, Outdoorsman and host of "Outdoors in Maine," a TV show that is
    	shown in Maine, VT and Alabama..
    
    Nate goes prepared to hunt. He usually carries a rifle, 30-06 or 30-30,
    a T/C with .410 bird shot, a 357 with 158gr's, a .22, three knifes,
    cheese, crackersm candy bars and 2 Bud's...Nate could hold off a small
    army for a week with all the weapons he carries each day.
