I personally wouldn't do it, but if someone is comfortable enough with their shooting ability to do it, than more power to them. I'm not patience enough to have them come in that extra 5 yards when I have a good shot further out. That 5 yards could make a big difference. But as M.T. said, if you want a challenge try a rifle. Wyoming in one state you can do that in. You can use anything bigger than a 22lr. I seen a guy shoot one with a 30.06. He didn't have to gut it, I'll say that much. I thought it was pretty much a waste of bullet and bird. I have hunted them with a 22.250. That don't work to bad if you place your shot right. I do like shotgunning a whole lot better.
