Title: Using a .35 for Yotes
Post by: THE SHOOTER on January 02, 2009, 01:16:07 AM: I'm wondering because the rest of my firearms are in Michigan with my dad because I'm in the Army and I was in Hawaii for a spell. I have a 300wsm that would be great for the long ranges, but right now I only have the .35 and my grandpa's old Ted Williams/Sears 12ga. Let me know what you think. Thanks

The .35 is a Marlin lever action, my dad baught from a pastor of a church for $100.00 about 17 years ago. It shoots true and I couldn't have asked for a better first rifle passed on from my dad.

You may wish additional input regarding the use of those Yote rounds in an older shotgun. I am no expert ...... :dunno:

But, as with any weapon, you should take it out to the range and be sure you know where the bullets are striking at a couple of useful distances. It will build your confidence when the coyote shot presents itself.

I agree with the poll, too. 100% of respondants are encouraging you to just get out and hunt!

Post by: atomicjoe23 on January 05, 2009, 01:41:58 PM: take both. . .use the shottie for the close in stuff. . .I didn't end up buying the Dead Coyote shot from Hevi Shot because they want $30 for 10 rounds. . .I just use #4 buck at $5 for 5 rounds. . .I can get 3 times as many shells for the same price and you should be just fine with some #4 in an older shotgun. . .

. . .oh just saw that you are in the Tri-Cities. . .may not be many shots close enough for a shotgun. . .wish I was out there. . .coyotes are WAY easier to come by in Eastern Washington than they are in the thick stuff out here on the Western Side.

Good Luck!!!
