My wife an I are moving to a small 5 acre plot of land that has chickens and a large garden, and we have been told that Coyotes and Foxes are pretty common in trying to steal out feathered egg givers and will stomp through the garden. I obviously have way too little land to get a large rifle, or use me Ruger .2LR, so I am getting a shotgun. I would like a 20 Gauge just because I like how the low recoil allows me to get more shots out, but will it be ok for these two pests, or is a 12 gauge going to be better? What ammo and choke patterns would be best? I dont like these guys messing with my breakfast food supply, but I also dont want them to suffer because I was underpowered. What ranges are good and where should I am for these guys? Thanks so much!
