So, lets say you're me (my apologies if thats insulting ), and in Oregon, the "no closed season" critters mostly include squirrel, cottonail, coyote, and nutria (thereare others but these cover the "extremes" in animal size).Most likely, yu will be seeing squirells and rabbits, but a "target of opportunity" of nutria or coyote may (hopefully) come up.Best choices from the guns I have is .22wmr or a 12ga o/u, which could have a different load in each barrel.Only one gun will be carried (except a handgun, but I'm not comfortable hunting with any of them at my current skill level, past 25yds, for ethical reasons).What would you recomend, gun and ammo wise.FWIW, I'm considering a Marlin 25mn .22wmr with CCI Maxi-Mag HP's and a 4x scope, or a 12ga Ruger Red Label o/u with screw in chokes (if you pick the 12ga,please suggest chokes and loads).What say you for a good "cover all my bases" gun (if it's even possible/reasonble)? Thanks
