Not going to lie, i enjoyed having a talk by Devin (hi mate), especially for a subject like this. I like how Devin speaks, and how he explains things. I’m actually very up to it having Devin much more often into the videos. But obviously it’s not my call and let’s face it, we men just want to get things done etc. instead of talking to a camera. 😅 Also the minimal editing and jump cuts etc. was quite enjoyable. And i can’t even purchase any of these. Located in EU. 😅 But an over under is still good for local animal hunting, especially since we don’t have bears here, at max maybe see a fox.
He has gained my respect. I would like to hear more from Devin and his experiences. Sadly I don't remember the topics he said he might go over, I watched the video slowly throughout a day.
I love my pump shotgun. I got a s&w pump for my 12th birthday. Bought a 20 inch barrel for it and had it threaded for chokes when I moved to my farm. Birds squirrels raccoons foxes. It does it all and I Can travel back and forth on my property in my truck easily. I also reload everything for mine. I shoot a 525 Lyman sabot. Which I also cast myself. Shotguns are super easy to learn to reload on too. Great video!
I am a retired Marine and a Rifleman , you are spot on. 12, 20 , 410 etc. theres one for everyone no matter size or age and recoil sensitive small framed folks. My primary is a Mossberg 835.
Very good. With anything, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. It won’t do it for you when you need it so you must practice so when you need it you can do it!
I was thinking about a 12 gauge (fixed choke) when I asked a friend about small game hunting. He recommended I stick with a 20 gauge. Both will kill the animal, but a 12 gauge can do more damage to the meat. And with my luck, with choke tubes I'll the wrong choke for the actual distance!
The weight of the gun matters more than 20 vs 12 gauge. Get yourself a 590 or 870 platform with a long mag tube. I'd say get 12 gauge because there's more capability. Look up the proper push pull method when firing shotguns and you won't have to worry about recoil. Esentially pull forward on the pump and back on the stock. Take a good class. If stock length is an issue you can get a magpul stock and shorten it. They are really nice. My 5 foot tall 100 pound lady can do it. So can you.
@luketimmer6108 wrong. It doesn't matter what weight 12ga you get, a slug is very punishing to new shooters. As far as shot goes, that could be a correct statement given you're shooting 2¾ out of the 12 and 3 inch out of the 20. Given the circumstances of the 3 guns mentioned there's not alot of weight difference if you compare apples to apples.
@@luketimmer6108 also, a 12ga is a negligible difference as far as capability goes. In Nort America you will never do anything that 12ga vs 20ga will ever make a difference. It's an ego thing more than capability.

As a middle-aged woman, I found this very helpful and informative. Been wanting to learn to shoot for a while now. Thanks for the food for thought.
My mom just learned to shoot and now goes out grouse hunting at 68 years old :)
This makes me so happy, thank you!! I wish you well with it!! ♥️

I'd be happy to answer more questions in my next video.

i have a lot of arthritis and have to use a 20 g pump. has done good for me so far
I really like this video and I will be using this information in the future thank you

I like both brands both are good I have always just liked the Mossberg 590 the best I guess it's because that's what I have always had
agreed. pump 12s. and pump 20s. can be abused and neglected. and they still function properly all day long
For young folks , Ladies and Small framed folks look at youth models due to Length of Pull which is important.
tripwire shot shell alarms are a must have..... they work perfectly for many things.... no batteries or electricity of any kind needed
100% agree education is the best safety around kids
Nice, I would like to see something on deer and elk rifles next.
We can do that! And wow thank you for being here so early! 🤩
Do u want a particular caliber?

12ga carries quite a bit more shot in the shell too. Both will do fine if you are very careful with the choke used at the right range.
@devinjones7159 If you can pick your choke. I'm working with a fixed choke.
all depends on choke tube restrictions..... I use 12 gauge on everything from squirrels rabbits quail pheasant grouse turkey and deer
@douglasmaccullagh7865 you can still pick your range and that's more important than picking your choke.
Hey, I know that feller.
And I know you!
👍🙏💯🙏
Mt woman is 6ft 4. 225lbs she needs the full size shotgun
Get her a large hammer she will be fine. Lol
what kind of kick does the 870 have?
Even some folk that are very sensitive to recoil can shoot a 20ga over and over as an entry level tool.
