Buy recommendations Best 2 in 1 gun

What’s the best gun for someone who’s looking to have a good animal defence weapon in places like the Yukon and northern BC. But also fun at the firing range. I just did my PAL course recently I still have to wait until I actually can apply for it. But in the meantime I’ve been looking at guns for fun it seems like my best option would be a lever action rifle that’s 30cal or bigger or some kind of pump action shotgun that can shoot slugs.

Thank you

I personally have a Mossberg Cruiser, throw in a birdshot first, buckshot after, then 4 slugs.

I went with this so it can also fit in my day hatch on my kayak. Have a Stevens 320, that fit, but a lot of maneuvering and wiggling to get it in/out. Could've got a different stock, but liked the look and feel of the cruiser. Pretty light recoil considering it's length and birds head grip
