If that is the case, that shotgun is lying next to you in the dirt, in the snow, in the brush. I would want something I did not have to worry about cycling in those elements. Shotgunning coyotes is usually a one shot kill, unless you miss, so is there really an advantage in having a semiauto for that purpose?
I would look to pick up a 12 gauge synthetic pump action and use #4 buck.
a lot wrong right there.
Yep
I would not say there is a lot of "wrong" in my post, what I would say is it depends a lot on the terrain where you are calling. You guys obviously are not hunting here in the rocky mountain west where shotgunning for coyotes on a percentage basis to rifles is pretty low.
I stand by my pump vs. semiauto opinion, but it's just that, an opinion and certainly not wrong.
Shoot what works for you, there are a lot of choices out there. Wouldn't it be boring if we all shot 223's?
