    Couple of us use them for quail. Great fun and sore shoulders.!

    A friend just acquired a single shot 12ga, that he intends to convert into a slug gun for bushpigs at short range. He intends to have the barrel shortened (and choke removed) and rifle sights fitted. Sounds quite handy.

    I would want a second shot for bush pig. If it doesnt go down after being shot with your only shot u could be in a world of trouble.

    I grew up hunting with one and have zero use for them.

    I once shot a Baikal single shot that had been converted to a slug gun and it was both handy and surprisingly accurate. Out to ±50m it would have made a great pig gun.
