Guest HoppeMan Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Should I use my .22 or my shotgun with slugs for yote hunting? .22 shoots farther, which is almost necessary, but shotgun has more pop, meaning a cleaner, more ethical kill. Take care, Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan1990 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: What gun for Yotes? Definatly the shotgun. the 22 will work but you better shoot em in the inside of the ear or eye or if its semi auto hit em multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: What gun for Yotes? Usually use either my .270 or the wifes .243 for yotes. Really depends on the situation on whether or not to use the shotgun. If you think you can get in close, give the shotgun a try with heavy loads or slugs. Shot one a few years back in the brush while turkey hunting with #4 turkey loads, and surprisingly the yote was able to run off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardwood_HD Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Re: What gun for Yotes? .22lr wouldnt be too bad for close range but i would be afriad to shoot a yote with it from 75+yds, you need a headshot with a 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: What gun for Yotes? always use the 243 for that, unless i am pheasant hunting and jump one close. then the 1187 does the job!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlriggins Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Re: What gun for Yotes? I use a 35 rem. lever action for the yotes most of the time but have also used an AR15 and one of my nagant rifles when distance is a factor Mosin Nagant rifles are usually inexpensive and rounds are cheap as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehunter Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Re: What gun for Yotes? I usually use my 270 as I really don't care about the fur damage, But I have taken several at night with the shotgun shooting 3" DBL OO buckshot.
