shotguns for coyotes

[jdb]

anyone else shoot one? I shoot an 870 with a 20" barrel and rifle sights works real well. JB

Benelli M1 super 90

I have always wondered about shotgunning.  Seems you would need them REALLY close.  Thought about picking up an 870 to due work as grouse/rabbit/turkey gun, might as well throw coyotes in there too!

Just noticed your tag line jdb...... "Illustious Potentate"  That is pretty good.

[Bscman]

#4 buck with a full choke does a great job.

I've been wanting to try the hevi-shot Dead Coyote....but I'm too cheap.

I use my 870 with 3"  T or F shot, work pretty good out to 50 or 60 yards.

[DeKuma]

Wish I would have had that on Monday when I missed at 60 yards!

I have the Benelli Super Nova 3.5 Mag with Dead Coyote Choke and Hevi shot Dead Coyote. At 70 yds. it will tear up a 8 0z. plastic water bottle. It holds a tight pattern.

you know where that tagline comews from?

[DeKuma]

Can't put my finger on it.  I have heard it in the "Left Behind" books/movies, and in Robin Hood and some others but for the life of me cannot remember where...........

[demontang]

Jeremiah Johnson? I think I remember it in that movie? The old man come running in the cabin with a griz in tow and jumps out the back window with Jeremiah inside

[jdb]

the "Illustious potentate" I got from a line from a ray stevens song call the ali babba temple of the shrine. the p[ilgrim can you skin griz did come from jeremiah johnson

[DeKuma]

regardless, they are both pretty good tag lines!

[Bigswedegml]

I use a Benelli Nova with a 28" barrel.  Extra full turkey choke and #4 buck shot.  Has worked well so far.

Had an 870 all dolled up and NEVER SHOT IT in the field! Sold it. I just bought a Benelli SBE2 with a steadygrip stock, advantage camo, 24" barrel.... so sweet! Hope to bloody it bad over its lifetime! I haven't patterend it yet, but I have 3" and 3.5" #4 buck for Coyote, and 3.5" 00 buck when I'm hunting brush for Cougars.

Not a lot of pressure for them in rifle restricted areas.  I use 870 with a Hastings rifled barrel and a 2.5 power Pentax lightseeker II

[alfbennett]

How is that barrell? I'm thinking of getting one. what would you consider the maximum humane effective range?

[BC CHASER]

Deer 175,  bear 100.

[coyotemadness]

I use a Benelli Nova with Dead Coyote choke and Dead Coyote 3" loads. But I have killed more coyotes with a old 870 using #4 buckshot.
