whats your farthest shot on one with that load, or what yardage does the patter become usless?

[D-Rock425]

Doesn't hevy shot make a coyote load.

[BOWHUNTER45]

I am not afraid to make 50 yrd shots with that load as long as I have my turkey choke in ...I will put it to ya like this inside 30yrds it will almost blow a hole threw them

I will just have to coax them 50 yards in

[whack em]

I've smoked them with 3" #4 turkey loads with my turkey choke in and absolutely folded them, two of which were at about 50 yards.  The way I see it, they should have left my hen decoys alone, served em right!

[seth30]

Wow, thats what I hope happens.  Since deer season is over I beleive night hunting is back on the plate.  I plan on doing some night ops this upcoming saturday followed by a day of duck hunting

I've dumped two with steel 4's, one at 10 yards and one at about 20.  Both dropped on the spot.  If I wasn't duck hunting and was looking for coyotes, T shot would probably be my choice. 

Be careful if wearing the same clothes for duck and coyotes to remove all your lead before duck hunting.

I used steel shot last year on a yote pretty much point blank, it worked great   Yeah I plan on changing clothes, I only wear cotton when hunting yotes, it provides the best sound control.

[Elk whack master]

Is 000buck a good choice or more smaller shot better. whats a good all around size out to 50yrds or so. got a
12g with carlsons dead coyote choke. 000 buck is more for  if i run into a cougar, but i think it just might ruin a bobcat if close up.

[seth30]

Right now all I have is some turkey shot #4 but wasnt sure if it was a good choice.  Im getting the info as it comes in

[Echomules]

Personal favorite is #4 buck pretty close to the size of T shot. Get a pretty dense pattern of big shot.

[bobcat]

I use 3 inch lead BB's, just because it's what I have. I've got three boxes of 25 with only a couple missing so they'll probably last me a lifetime. If I was to buy some specifically for coyotes I'd probably get the Dead Coyote loads.

[rebal69972]

I like my 3 1/2 mags #4 I figure if I can kill a turkey at 75 yards a yote ant a problem at 40 to 50

[Snopczynski]

Hevi Shot DeadCoyote 3" T Shot with a Carlsons Coyote Choke.

[C-Money]

#4 buck is a good load.

[seth30]

I went to walmart, and got some more shot, the only shot they had besides Lead target shot was 00 buck shot.  That should fold them no probs   I plan on stocking up on turkey load once it hits the shelves.

[buglebuster]

I've shot 5 coyotes with 3.5" steel BB.3 under 20 yards all folded. One was 30 and ran around in circles for about 20 yards and died. One was running vertical to me and I rolled him then he ran about 50 yards and died, he was about 40 yards. never lost a coyote with a shotgun and those are the only shells i have used.

[Special T]

Well I pour my own buck shot so i Use 2 3/4 #0 buckshot. 9 30 cal pellets. it smacks them down If i were to buy i'd use as big and heavy turkey shot as i could get my hands on lead BB or t shot in 3 or 3.5.  I've rolledm with #4 shot lead while pheasant hunting... I've used #4 buck but i like the larger pellet or the higher velocity/ swarm with turkey loads. 

[seth30]

I will be hunting this saturday night, I will tell you how it works

where ya headed?

[high country]

#7 1/2 in 16ga at 30yards is hell on them.....ask me how I know.

[Elk whack master]

HOW?? PICS!!!!

[high country]

HOW?? PICS!!!!

I didn't take pics...when my dog was just a pup I sent her into a brushy hellhole and suddenly I hear this argument between two dogs! Out squirts a coyote and cali is hot on its heels. The coyote was about 15 yards ahead and I dumped a load of 7 1/2's into it.....rolled it. Cali and the coyote had a 10 second scrap and there she was trying to bring me a dead coyote bigger than she was. I don't think she killed it, it was the gun....most excitement in a long time.

  Thats awesome! Good dog - I'd love to have seen that! Although I bet at the time you werent really enjoying it very much until it was over!

Like bags of shot for reloading? Or pre-made cartridges? I didnt know they sold shot at Walmart, I'll be going down there to get some if they do and its a good price!

I use 3" #4 buck in imp mod choke, I have used IC too but I never shoot them at very long range. I am curious how far out I could shoot them....  but I like to get them in a close as I can. Thought about buying of the pattermaster long range chokes but I dont want to spend the money...

[seth30]

I meant boxed ammo, in range will be no problem.  I have some sure fire ways to get them in close   I have done a LOT of door knocking and just found a guy that lost his ankle biter to a yote.  He told me I could shoot all night long, and he doesnt care what his neighbors think..

Cool, what lights are you using?  I have a smart light headlamp that burns on high for nearly14 hours and a 250 kill light on my rifle/shotgun.  I think I am going to get the 100 kill light for my shotgun and just keep the 250 mounted on the rifle.

The outside lights of the home and garage.  The home borders the woods where all the probs come from.

I just bought 3" #4 buck for my 835. Will it shoot good patterns through a tight turkey choke? Are coyote chokes open or tight?

That turkey choke is probably too tight for buckshot. Might even damage your choke tube. I would try a improved cylinder and a modified choke and see which patterns best. You could also try a standard full choke but in my experience buckshot patterns better out of a more open choke.

[Special T]

Something i want to try with my next pour is to buffer the buckshot with con cob. form people i've talked to if you tamp corn cob in with each layer of buck shot it keeps the pellets from rolling and keeps them together longer.  I would bet that ) buckshot buffered or #4 would keep pretty tight with whater choke you use for duck hunting. 

[carpsniperg2]

Most the time I run 4-buck backed up by oobuck. I have killed them all the way down to #4 shot. I have shot many yotes with a scatter gun and that is one of my favorite ways to shoot them. You know you got them close when you can shoot them with a shotgun My gun shoots very well to 50yards with the choke I use.
