Default Shotgun loads for Coyotes

I'm going coyote hunting for the first time next week. The problem is that the landowner doesn't want us to use rifles, just shotguns. It's his property so I'm not argueing. The guy I'm going with wants to use rifled slugs in his 870 pump and I want to use buckshot in my double.
What would you guys use, slugs or buckshot?

I use hevi shots coyote loads which are loaded with T size shot, awesome stuff Ive taken coyotes as far as about 100 yards with them. Before I used either #4 buck shot or steel T's but with those I would have never shot further then maybe 50 or 60 yards.

In close to 40 yds I use lead #2 loads I have had for years
out to 100 yds the Hevi Shot Dead Coyote load is the best I have ever tryed.
2-1 or 3-1better over buck shot .

Hevi-Shot Coyote load out of Modified and/or Full, if using a double barrel will get the job done....
#4 Buckshot would be my 2nd choice....
