I think if you have a 22lr 12ga and a 308 win you could live a life time in the bush and you shouldn't go hungry to often.
While I agree that these are very versatile choices, I fail to see why you need a shotgun if feeding yourself is the only objective. Wing shooting is a very inefficient way of procuring protein. For birds and small game, when sport is not the objective, the 22lr will be much more efficient.

During his military service, Mr. McGrew moved up through the ranks from lowest ranking man on the A-Team to the Commander of the A-Team (Operational Detachment-A). He served 30 months as Operations Officer of a Special Forces line company. Ultimately, he finished his military career as Force Modernization Officer for US Special Forces Command where, among other duties, he was designated the headquarters scout for emerging technologies.
Today, Mr. McGrew has parlayed his extensive expertise in things that go bang, along with a long-abiding passion for the Holland & Holland Paradox gun, into a business that provides the sporting shotgun community with premium ammunition. Nearly three years ago, he obtained the rights to import Holland & Holland shotshells and Paradox ammunition through his company, Classic Shooting Company in Centralia, Washington.
