Yote with a Shot gun

I just started hunting them I was able to find a calling mentor. We have been able to go several times and I've learnd a lot from him we've been also trying to get a wolf hunt together. It's taken me awhile to get every thing together picked up a Howa 1500 in 22-250 so working up a load and sighting it in to gettin a buckshot mold so I'm able to load my own buckshot and pattern testing it. I get a very good pattern out to about 70 yards as for the 22-250 my load I'm able to cover my group with a dime.
On Monday I wen out by myself from where I parked my truck to were I started calling was about 3/4 of a mile I called in a pair when they came in from the up wind side and behind me when I heard them they were about 10 yards from me and charging in. I don't remember moving my rifle and grabbing the shot gun all I remember is seeing them and cutting loose. Talk about exciting this is the closest they have ever come in.

The pelts are worth about 40.00 and I was only able to get the one. This is my first one that I actualy called in I've shot them before but never actually calling for them.

I hear ya on justifying the price of shot I already cast allmy pistol Boolits and some Rifle and paying 20 or 25.00 for 10 rounds of heavy coyote 3 1/2" shells to where I pay 40 for another mold diliverd it was a no brainer. Another thing after looking at the vilosity of the two rounds ther wasn't much differance the biggest differance was the pay load. I did some informal pattern testing and with a full choke installed out to 75 yards it was still holding a good pattern 50 yards with a modified choke. This was with #4 buckshot that I cast myself.
