Be careful if wearing the same clothes for duck and coyotes to remove all your lead before 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.I used steel shot last year on a yote pretty much point blank, it worked great :tup: Yeah I plan on changing clothes, I only wear cotton when hunting yotes, it provides the best sound control.

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.

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

HOW?? :chuckle: 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.

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 :tup: I plan on stocking up on turkey load once it hits the shelves.
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.... :dunno: 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...

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.
