With predator season fast approaching, and an attack having already occoured this year, I finally broke down and bought a predator gun. Marlin 60 15 shot semi auto .22. Quieter than the shotgun and faster shooting than the other .22. Now, if I miss the first time, I have 14 more shots without having to reload.
