coyote chokes
anybody use a shotgun for coyotes?
saw an indian creek choke in action this weekend at a card shoot... wow thats a piece of engineering, blowing the red dot, homemade chokes away and pissing off the natives. thinking of using something along that line to bust dogs, i'll have to try different sizes out of course to see what works best with #4's and BB's maybe even 00 buck looking for info so i don't repeat mistakes already made or tested |

Hmmm, ... Well FWIW,
Try 00 or 000 buck full choke and keep your range down to less than 40 yards, 30 is more certain. You'll have to call 'em to get 'em that close, and when they come in it will be FAST! As always JMHO other opinions may well differ. Regards, ... |

Yes - because it was handy.
But generally? I'll use whatever I have at hand. Pistol, rifle, shotgun, pickup truck, etc..

Well, I've never used a shotgun, just never had one available at the time. But if I did, I'd break open the coach gun and reload with 00 buck and it has cylinder bore chokes in both barrels. It's what I hunt dove with these days, always carry 4 00 buck and 2 slugs as well as my home loaded 8 shot.
