I dropped a coyote at 25 yards in his tracks with a 20 gauge using 6 lead shot. I also dropped one with a .410 dead in his tracks at15 yards. Shot both of them behind the shoulder. Actually, I was really stunned to see both drop in their tracks.Coyotes aren't pigs. It doesn't take much to drop a coyote. It takes a little more to drop a pig, especially a big one. Those little ones sure make for good eating.
