I am wondering what yote shot should I use?:scrutiny: under 12$ or less than 15$

[12GA00buck]

#4 Buck

30 caliber works fine...

shot not rifle, shotgun.:banghead:

any three inch turkey load in a 12 gauge with a super full turkey choke will kill a yote. Preferably #4 shot or larger if you simply must use a shotgun. I prefer a .243 personally.

While pheasant hunting last winter, a large coyote got up a couple yards ahead of me in heavy brush . 1 load of high brass # 7 1/2 shot out of my 12 ga. rolled him at 20 yards as if hit with an '06. Totally disabled from the shot, I administered a finishing load up close to send him onto preditor Heaven. Moral : You need not any special thermo nuclear shotgun loads to dispell coydogs within reasonable range . Obviously heavier shot would be preferable at greater distances.

We use 3 1/2" #4 buck with a turkey tube . You don't want to shot too many of them .

In our part of the world, it would be physically impossibe to shoot " too many " coyotes . Even if it wasn't , considering as many deer fawns, turkey, pheasant and quail eggs & chicks coyotes consume , not to mention small calves that stray, I'm trying to think of a reason too many would ever be, well, too many. I'm not saying I'd want a species wipe out, but considering the population of coyotes here and the predidation they do to our game, we take as many as we can.

#4 buck at a minimum . . . make a quick & sure kill.

Geo,

RKellogg was refering to shooting too many 3 1/2" #4 buck loads. As it is tough on the shoulder.:)

I've got a friend who is queer for shotguns and coyotes. He uses a 10ga with BB. They are pretty effective out to about 30 or 40 yards.

I shot one yesterday with a .45acp hollowpoint, worked great.:)

[Sniper X]

I'd only be able to shoot them with 000buck around here if I HAD to use a shotgun as the buggers are to (Wiley) and won't get within 50 yards or so.

I hit one at about 25 yards with 7 1/2 once (was dove hunting, all camoed out leaning against a tree). He went down, got up, ran off. :banghead: But, I promised the land owner I'd shoot any coyotes I saw, so I did. I prefer shooting 'em with a rifle. I've hit 'em out at 350+ before, can't reach that far with a shotgun.

ever try the "dead coyote" T-shot from hevi-shot? I've heard really good things about it....like coyotes dropping like rocks at 60-70 yards from a 12 gauge.

It was a joke. Sorry I forgot the smiley. ;)

So when one shoots a Coyote, what does he do with it?

Mangy? Burn it/bury it.

Nice pelt? Skin and tan/sell, leave the body. Other critters will dispose of it.

Poor pelt? Leave it lay. Other critters will dispose of it.
