I've just bought some rural land and think I'll need a shotgun for snakes, since on both visits inspecting the property I've come across snakes.
Most of my hunting is done with rifles, & one of the main reasons I purchased this property is for hunting & fishing. I was considering a side x side 12g coachgun style of shotgun like the Stoeger 20 inch double barrel which I know will work for snakes.
I also know the 20 inch barrels limit the usefulness of this type of coachgun for other purposes. I have always liked the look of the coachgun, but am I being sucked in for the look of something thats not really practical?
I will mainly be hunting with a rifle on my new property, but there are numerous pigs, foxes, rabbits which a shotgun could be used on. Should I forget the coachgun, or can it be used in a pinch?
