Does a semi-auto have a considerable amount less recoil than a pump. I can't take too much recoil so if the semi will help, let me know.

Plain and simple, yes it has
Plain and simple, yes it has less felt recoil than a pump. At least I feel less.

True
Gas operated semi=large difference
Inertia driven semi=little to no difference
You nailed it. Gas operated will yield less precieved recoil. But a lot of shooters think that all semi autos are softer shooting, not true. Recoil operated or inertia operated will kick like a fixed breech.

Go with a semi w/ ported
Go with a semi w/ ported barrel and nice recoil pad.
Try using a 20guage if your worried about recoil. You might not be taking those geese at 60 yards, but you'll gettin the job done. Using 2-3/4" shot will make a big difference also. Some of those new magnum loads will have you hurtin the next day.

Good Choice
I think i'm going to get myself an 11-87
I've owned and used the Remington 11-87 in 3 inch magnum since 1994 and have been completely happy with it. It's my primary waterfowl shotgun and of all the guns I own this is the one that sees the roughest and heaviest use in the field. It's functioned totally reliable in all weather and tempuratures under all huntable conditions.

Yes less recoil but I find them less reliable when it come to hunting in a pit or freezing cold weather.

Thats a very good point. I've never had a pump jam in the blind but seen several other people's semi's jam every other shot during freezing conditions.

The problem with jaming is
The problem with jaming is that people just don't keep their shotguns as clean as they should. In over 30 years I have never had my Mag 10 jam because of dirt or the weather. But I do agree that the pump is easier to keep working.
