Bill bring your thrower.  I have one, but it's always fun to launch multiple birds.  Bill, I have a couple .410's if you want to use them.  There's a H&R Snake Charmer.  You can shoot it like a pistol if you like.  Oh, and there's my Mother's Steven bolt action, but it's really a single shot  most of the time.  OH OH I got the gun for you--a T/C New Englander .12 guage muzzleloading shotgun.  On second thoughts I might have to use that one.  We can share.  

  .410 shells are too expensive to shoot anyhow. 
Pearly, I hear you my year has been sort like that, also.
