What to bring when traveling light?

[GeauxLSU]

Ok so now we have the shotgun the Henry .44 and a Varmint gun.
So much for traveling light.

(Lucky Bum!)

No, that's what I'm trying to be talked OUT of of.

but am itching to use a .44 lever... and feel almost obligated to bring a varmint caliber rifle.

Bring the 44...

I have fired this target hundreds of times with my 44 handgun but when fired through the 1894 look at the result. Scrath that itch. Bring AR for Yotes. Borrow a SG.

Do it all with the shotgun!

That's what I'm thinking, but I've never fired slugs out of the one I'd bring and no clue how it would do or where it would hit (not sure what sort of sight in opp I may or may not have).
I am going to bring a hogleg something or other... that doesn't take much room... and besides.. I think it's required in Texas.

I have some "Dead Coyote" loads for the shotgun. If what he's saying is true, all shots will be well under 100 yards. Perhaps it's settled (shotgun and lever)....
If I get there and there's a 300 yard setup for yotes somewhere I'm going to punch my brother (and then run, thankfully he's slow).

Even better. 1,870 fps. http://www.hornady.com/store/44-Mag-225-gr-FTX-LEVERevolution/ which is what I use.

Only 13" low at 200 when sighted in as I currently have it. "Only".

Yote on the move should be no problem.. Right??

I generally shoot from the hip under 200 yards.

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
