Turkey Choke for Coyotes?

[hunterednate]

Just wanted to update you guys on this....no luck calling in coyotes for me this year. I blew my call on my January duck hunts but never got a coyote in close enough. Had a big coyote trot out on the ice 120 yards out on a frozen lake, but stayed well beyond shotgun range. Hopefully can test the choke/load combo on a live coyote next waterfowl season.

Thanks again for all the data and advice on this thread.

My hunting partner loves shotgunning coyotes. He shoots controlled wads through a modified choke. It doesn’t take anything fancy. You still have to hit them.
I learned a valuable lesson when I started turkey hunting and patterned my shotgun for the first time:  What you want has no bearing on what you get. EVERY shotgun/choke/load combo is unpredictable so you MUST pattern each one to know.
I’ve learned to start with what I have- it might already be the best.
Believe it or not I use 2 3/4 high velocity 5 shot for turkey in a modified choke. Pattern your shotgun and believe it.

The Heavy Magnum coyote BB is actually designed for modified chokes.

If I really want to go long then I use a 3.5" shell with 00 and a stock full choke. I'd feel good at 70.

But I really like how #4 patterns at 40-50 yards. In Washington woods it is pretty ideal.

Nicest coyote I have ever seen was at a waterfowl spot. Walked out some with binocs and it was about 10 yards from me  :'(

Just be careful since some of those waterfowl areas can have some really nosey neighbors. I've had someone call because they thought I was going for deer in spring

Turkey loads work well on coyotes too when they comes to investigate that lonesome hen call in the spring turkey woods.
