RE: Shootin 'yotes w/ turkey load
 

It will work just fine to 40yds. I shot one last year with a load of 1.25oz. of #4and it rolled him for keeps:D. onless they'er rate on top of you the fur will still be fine to. good luck.

i'm about to be going to my girlfriends dads house for some yote poping. We're taking the shotgun just incase. Maybe I'll test the theory. What you all figure to be the best load for strictly yotes?

RE: Shootin 'yotes w/ turkey load
 

I'd say #5 would be alright, but #4 would be more ideal. Also make sure you have an extra tight choke. Aim for the shoulder, you want the spread to make a circle from the head to the vitals, if you aim for the head half your circle could miss.

i killed two yotes this last turkey season used #4 shot dropped the dang things in their tracks. we are starting to have a lot of problems with these things. just wait until bear season. my new 30/06 is going to get broke in right on these things.

i would say 40 yards max. i shot one at 10 and absolutly rocked it. I also shot at one from 50 yards and just made his ass sore.
