ihunt365 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 What shot size would be good to use on coyotes. The area I hunt spring turkey is starting to have a large coyote population. So when turkey hunting this spring if one comes by I can take the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllinoisArcher Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Re: Shot Size BB through 4 Buck would be great choices. These will give good density and given a good pattern and the proper shot these will buy you 50 yards. Hevi-shot has a load called "Dead Coyote" which is T sized Tungsten. This load sounds really great. Stay away from steel it's too light and wont hit hard enough at longer ranges. We used to call in coyotes when the goose hunting was slow and we used BB or BBB tungsten. It does a very nice job but it's spendy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Re: Shot Size BB through #4 buck are all about right for size. But you need to pattern each size through your particular gun to see which will be most effective. In my BPS 10 ga. copper-plated lead #2's are nothing short of incredible. However, bump it up one size to BB (same brand of shell) and the pattern blows to pieces. Worthless. It's things like that you'll never know until you put the time in to find it out.
