I shoot 3" #4 buck when i tote the shotty yote hunting and would not think twice about pulling the trigger at 50 yards.  60 yards i would have to think about but more than likely would shoot as well.

Your '06 would have to be pretty far off to miss a yote at 50 yards. I'd set up a target and zero it. That way you are good much further. :twocents:

Depends a lot on your choke. 50 yards is getting out there without a really tight choke. I have gunned a lot of dogs with 4 buck over the years.

The mod will open the pattern up a bit quick. Paper it and the groups will tell you what range you are good to.

i shot a dog ( someones pet) who had been killing deer in the area and it was at 40 yards and the 00 buck worked great. i think someone dumped the dog off and when it seen me it was real aggressive so i had to put it down but at 40 yards it worked fine.

The #4 buckshot will give a much denser pattern than the 00 buck. It's 40 some pellets versus about a dozen. #4 buck is the way to go IMO. I actually use BB's when I hunt with a shotgun, but that's mainly just because I have a lot of them.

I've always been a "T" shot guy for dogs.  Though I've been a bit disappointed in the Dead Coyote.  I'd go Remington HD "T" if I were using the shotgun for dogs these days.

I've killed em at 40 yardes with 0 buck with my 18 in home defender barrel... and 70 yards with my bird barrel. I haven't had as much luck with 4 buck at 70 ish yards tho...

I am shooting a 40 year old Winchester 1200 no choke.  Buckshot was scattered poor pattern.  Dead Coyote 3"  nice pattern 50 yards.  Works well with Texas heart shots if the dog is close and on the run.  I am not a shotgun expert.  ? why my shotgun patterned better with the Dead Coyote.  kind of expensive stuff so I only shoot it when hunting.

It wouldn't. 10 yards would be pushing it.
