I have about an acre of land I raise chickens ducks and a big garden. I have a 40 cal for two legged problems. the majority of my problems needing a fire arm are predators looking for dinner or critters in the garden. solutions need to be short ranged and handy first A rifle could reach houses and second a animal killed within shotgun range of my coup or garden isn't a stretch to explain as doing active damage one killed at 22-250 range is may be. my solution has been a 12 or 20 shooting small buckshot . I like small gauges and can kill coon or possums or fox with them hunting because I can wait to shoot at the head or chest. Shooting at the south end of a north bound critter is a different story.... birdshot does't have the penitration slugs are ok ... but now do to the Judge ammo companies are doing new things with 410 buck shot the federal 410 handgun buckshot is just amazing at 25 paces it put all 4 pellets in a retreating possum and stopped him drt. A elastic buttstock holder (rifle)with 3-4 buck and 3-4 birdshot and a cheap rossi 410 youth makes a light short deadly little critter getter and if it gets dropped in the mud It was less than $100 new with 2 barrels just my thoughts
