I always love it when I have to go and retrieve another firearm to finish the job. If only there were a firearm that were smoothbore and capable of variable levels of power to engage the birds of the air and the beasts of the forest...

The only raccoon I ever shot with #6 turned around on me. I was fortunate to have been properly instructed in shotgun use and had cycled the action. I fired again with buckshot and at that point the discussion was over. Do folks really just run around with shotguns and fine shot responding to disturbances? I always take buckshot.
