Okay, here’s my situation: the nearest big city to me has finally starting building bedroom communities within 50 miles of my 75-odd acres. That has led to a huge increase in the number of coyotes and other wildlife. Generally, I’ve had few problems with coyotes — they tend to be wary of people. However, a few weeks ago 2 of my dogs were attacked by a coyote. And these two dogs are big, one weighs over 100lbs and the other 80lbs. I wasn’t far off so did manage to fire at the coyote. (Neither dog was badly hurt, a bunch of stitches, that’s all.) But the only gun I had with me was my Henry lever rifle in 22lr. Not the best choice, I know.
I’m a 62 year old woman who has a total wrist partial forearm replacement in my dominant hand. I do have an old 20 gauge Mossberg with a wooden stock that weighs a ton and a shoulder pad that is as hard as hockey puck. Should I get a new shotgun and if so, any advice about brands, mode, etc? Or should I simply get a new stock? I’d need an adjustable stock — I’m assuming a plastic stock and I’d appreciate all the padding I can get. Any advice would be great. Thanks
