Non-tox shotgun shells?

[CP]

I’m looking for a non-toxic 12 gauge solution to the coyotes that keep sneaking up on my goose decoys; the steel BBs are not very effective.

Any suggestions?

"Dead Coyote"     http://www.cabelas.com/shotgun-ammunition-hevi-shot-dead-coyote-ammunition.shtml

How about something cheaper?

[bobcat]

Cheaper?  They're only $3.29 per shot.      

I guess you don't want the coyotes dead THAT BAD, huh?

Any brand of t-shot steel but dead coyote would be alot more effective..you must have herds of coyotes coming into your dekes if you're worried about cost

Maybe not; I’d have to convince myself that shooting a mangy, nasty, piss covered brush dog was a good investment of $3.29.

How are you going to get your shells switched quick enough anyway? Would it be possible to bring a 22 rifle or 22 mag into the blind with you?

I usually have plenty of time since I’m in the blind and can see them coming from a distance.  The rifle is a good idea but I don’t want pack it out & back. 

I usually carry a Glock sidearm but maybe next time I’ll bring a more accurate pistol.

About the same price as Dead Coyote but there is Remington Wingmaster HD also.  You can find it on sale sometimes.

 12 guage 3 1/2"  BBB will kill a dog.

12 guage 3 1/2"  BBB will kill a dog.

What do you suppose the maximum range would be with that load? I'd guess about 35 yards.

Head shot 45 -50 yds.  Chest area I probably wouldn't  go beyond 40 yds. or you will be putting your second and thirds rounds at him.  Remember at 50 yds. you need to aim a little high because of the pellet drop.

I will second the "T" shot reccomendation. If i remember correctly T shot is .22 cal shot. Not 100% sure on that but pretty sure...

I killed a yote once with 7.5 shot at 30 yards..........dropped on the spot and was dead instantly.   Probably just luck though...........

You'd play hell explaining that to a Game Warden.
