All I'm saying is struggling member of family wanting to fill ice box with feathered game would choose 12ga or 16ga in something like Model 1897. Fewer missed birds means saving of time and ammo. Unless given no options they would gun for Ducks, Geese, Pheasant,......It take lot of them small birds to fill ice box and lot of feather pullin' for little meat. There is nothing wrong in using "Kiddie Gauge" for sport shooting little birds, but it seems kind of pointless for the pot unless all one has available is the "Kiddie Gauge".
