Default RE: Coyote gun and ammo

DO NOT GO WITH BUCKSHOT! buckshot will shorten your range and ruin ur fur! a slug will do a heck of a lot better than buckshot. slugs go faster, hit harder, and they have light shootings slugs so it doesnt do much damage. if u have a good slug setup u can kill coyotes out to 300 yards because a slug is a biga** bullet and goes about 1600fps out the barrel. if u r using a smoothbore go w/ FEDERAL'S TRUBALL RIFLED SLUG. i am shooting them out of a full choke gun and still getting good performance. thoes things are crazy good. if u r shooting rifled DO NOT GO W/ REMINGTONS BUCKHAMMER. it will blow ur coyote in 2 out to 135 yards and feels like a .340 WEATHERBY w/ a recoil pad on. and w/o it feels more like a .416 or worse! i would go w/ remington copper plated slugs for that. ALSO I HAVE KILLED A COYOTE AT 81.7 yards w/ a .22LR 60gr bullet and have had 2 people w/ me witness it. so that shows how much some of u r WRONG!
