The best shotguns for quarry that fights back

Tim’s getting ready for a very special hunt, one where his quarry might hunt him back. In this episode, Tim Sundles walks viewers through his preparations for going after dogman, a cryptid often compared to Bigfoot or Sasquatch, and explains how he gears up for extreme, close-range encounters in the wilderness. Rather than focusing on long-distance shooting, Tim breaks down why he prioritizes 12-gauge shotguns with heavy slugs, detailing slug weights, penetration, diameter, and reliability when dealing with large, aggressive threats inside 100 yards. He also explains his choice of firearms, thermal optics, and backup systems, along with the importance of thoroughly vetting equipment before relying on it. Whether viewers believe in cryptids like dogman or simply want insight into preparedness for the unknown, this episode offers a candid look at how Tim approaches scenarios where hesitation can be deadly.
