coles Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 my grandpa made a real mistake last year. he let a fox raise a whole litter of pups right behind his house and he wouldnt let us shoot em cuz he thought they were "cute". we he is regreting it now. this year we saw i think 3 pheasants on his place all year and in the past it has been a pretty good place to hunt. well this year we are declaring war. i know wehre the two dens are and im going to go out wtih my spot light and red lens but he wants me to use a shotgun cus there is houses around. but what size shot should i use that is good for out to 40-50 yards? any info will help. thanx cole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaCoyote Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Re: what shot size? Right on! BB, BBB, #2. Nothing bigger. Pattern wont be dense enough. And you can miss at longer ranges. Try to find copper plated lead but plain lead will work. Copper plated penetrates better. If you don't care about cost get some bbb or bb tungsten waterfowl loads. I can tell you from personal experience that these will definately roll a dog. Have fun! and post some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hookedonhunting Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Re: what shot size? dude NOTHIN smaller than 4s. u get a coyote within 40 yards and u got em! plus foxes are alot smaller. i wouldnt shoot 00 buck its too big. i reccomend copper plated 2s. thats my opinion.
