Actually from that distance it was a rifle slug.
As you can see by no opening of the pattern, there isn't really no room for error on that shot. From that distance the whole head filled my sights though. This bird was a definite tough sucker, because he actually bled to death from the shot vs dying outright. He was still flashing hooks at me when I went to grab him, and he had some of the nastiest hooks I've seen out of a Midwestern bird in a while. To me this bird looked 100% Rio, which out of this particular area is the norm, but listed as Hybrids on the NWTF chart.
