[QUOTE="tt35, post: 844179, member: 25362"] I just started seriously attempting to shotgun coyotes in the last two years so I'm not a big expert on it. I started for the exact reason you mentioned--missed shot opportunities. But, it also opened up some tighter country that I wouldn't have hunted with my rifle. ([URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/shotgun-coyotes-1.php"]Coyotes In Your Pocket - A Quest To Shotgun Coyotes[/URL]) Like other shotgun sports, there is a balance between pellet count and size. Most agree that T and Four Buck are a good balance. Heavy Shot and Super Heavy will no doubt be more effective but I've found that the position and mental state of the coyote has more affect on lethality than the type of metal from which the shot is made. Coyotes going away with adrenaline in their veins become very hard to put down--not impossible but much harder--regardless of the pellet type. I guess the same could be said about rifle calibers as well. lightbulb That's my $.02. [/QUOTE]
