buckshot and slugs for dogs

[Fishaholic]

i dont have time to go sight in the 3006 will buckshot work well out to 50 to 60 yards? i have 00 and #4 buckshot. i can shoot slugs out of my mossyberg well so im not worred about that. any advice on shotgunning yotes

[bosshogg112]

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.

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.

its mod choke. and i would but every were is closed up right now and i am sighting it in with open sights so if anyone knows a way to sight in open sights without bullets let me know. haha i just put the open sights on.

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.

[Fishaholic]

alrighty i may have some bb some were.

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.

there is a place on the other side of Cosi hill that you can get to and sight your -06 in as for the scatter gun i run 3.5 T dead dog with a full to about 75yrds. They arent cheap i have started to phase them out and running a 3.5 #1 confident out to 50yrds on those
