Well I'd have a go with a Winchester 12ga. along with Brenneke Rifled Deer Slugs.But unless the economy takes a real dump,much worse than it is now not sure you'd be good eating - old,gristled,stringy,tough for sure,like a longhorn. Plus you woudn't fit over the sink maybe 94 could do something with you,though

That was never a problem when a clean shot for some venison presented itself.Quite a few times never shot because brush/tree limbs in the way.Whilst Grouse hunting yrs back we found some inclines/ridges where herds of Whitetails had been coming/going.Never hunted it for deer though as it would have taken a helicopter or team of axemen to haul the quarry thru the terrain and back up to the truck.Would have had to eaten it on the way just to make it back

Haha. Don't fire in city limits. There was a guy in our city that fired on a coyote that ran at his family in his backyard, city around a fire pit and he was charged with illegal discharge, which was odd considering the circumstances.

I won't list what's in my safe, but I certainly wasn't a firearm person growing up and my mom was 100% against them, even though my dad is an Army vet. Later in life, I became close with a guy I met through my professional life and we became incredibly close. He's a former special forces, airborn ranger that was a sniper and served two tours in Afghanistan. Needless to say, he forced me to go out to the range a few times and it just became an excuse to spend time with a very good man.

Kinda OT, but you made me think of a time I went camping with my roommate years ago with our Doberman.  There were coyotes out there and turns out I really didn't know a lot about coyotes.  I thought they were badasses that would take out any domesticated dogs.  Come to find out, they did not want any of our Doberman, but he sure did want a piece of them.  I later told my surprise to a guy I worked with who fancied himself a wildlife and wilderness "expert."  He said on his property he had to watch out for coyotes because they would kill his small animals and his small dogs as well if they had the chance, but that his German Shepherd routinely brawled with them and would bring back wounded or dead coyotes to him.  Said many large breeds of dogs are too much for coyotes and he wasn't surprised my Doberman ran them off.  I had no idea.  

Back on topic, the .22 is the only one that's "mine."  All the handguns here, believe it or not, belong to my wife.  

Texans.  

hah, figured you shoot as straight as I putt

when it came to Grouse hunting you'd be right.Get down there in the southern part of the state,deep woods,hills,ravines,ridges amongst some thick conifer stands - it's a great time,Excersize a hell of a lot more than 18 holes.Grouse a quick,evasive hard to hit as they rocket thru brush,growth,tangle & trees - amazing,thoroughly enjoyed it even coming back with an empty game pouch.

Yeah, we have coyotes here and I don't worry about them at all. Was walking the dog (90#+ golden retriever) one morning and heard there was a coyote in the neighborhood. Ended up running into another guy with his dog and we spotted the coyote. It ran down the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street and wanted NO part of us. 

I've spotted them a couple other times and they always give us a wide berth. 

Now if I spotted a mountain lion, I'd be sh!tt!ng myself...
