If I am hunting alone I will carry 2 guns 99% of the time. I have shot a lot of dogs over the years with a scatter gun. That being said I would not just pack a shotgun. If I was only going to take one it would be the 223 for sure :tup:

I am also starting to be a believer in taking a rifle and shotgun when calling. We tried it out a week or two ago and ended up not even using the rifles all day.

Or you could run a combo rig like this.  12 ga over 5.6x50 Rimmed Magnum.  The best of both worlds and it works see avatar.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

 :chuckle: LOL I can assure you we are east side :chuckle:

They looked at me weird when I  just packed my shotgun when I took them out the other day. If arron had not waved his gun at the runner I would have blasted the dog with my scatter gun :chuckle:

I'm a big fan of scatter guns under 50 yards on dogs :tup:


I was thinking out loud about multi-species calling in the mountains, cats don't typically come blasting in, and that is my focus.

Mainly, I don't want to tear one up - I'd be so pissed if I blew a huge hole in one >:(

We hunt cats on the same ground. I use a 222 or a 223 with a 22 pistol.

yup

I got the AR sighted in somewhat now, so that'll go with me for sure.   
I still need to fine tune it with Hornady v-max 55gr but it'll be very close.

Do you snowmobile or atv with tracks?

Up high I already had to turn back once cause the snow was too deep. 
I'll be packing a snowmobile here pretty soon.

haven't had a sled for a few years. But maybe you can get "OL" campstool to show you the way! He knows where to find me.

My  :twocents:......carry that shotgun and the .223

I've had too many coyotes damn near run me over when I wasn't expecting it....even in areas that I would have never thought a coyote would make it to that close of range without me seeing it.  The shotgun is essential.
