I hunt sort of near where Bob is at, my ground looks exactly like what he posted there. I do not carry both guns on stand...just my choice nowdays...but to those that say that the country he is calling there is rifle only country..those coyotes can and will sneak right up on you, super close, using those tumbleweeds and tiny gulleys strategically for cover, like ninjas. There is a lot of value in carrying the shotgun there. I choose not to, cause I am confident in my rifle shooting from arms reach close, to mid-far.
Bob slays a lot of coyotes out there.

Edit to add: I shoot a semi auto nowdays. Mostly a Mossy 930, cause for some reason I like it. I have the flat black turkey version, 24" barrel with a Kicks Hi Flyer choke on it...makes it about 25 -ish". I run Glock sights on it front and back. I had to drill a hole for the rear sight, but I like em. Small and tough.
