I was thinking about trying for coyotes with a 12 gauge shotgun and a slug . Has anyone used this method and what are good tips?

nerver tried slugs but if your not worryed about saving the fur it will work if you can get them in close enough to be in rangeif i use a shot gun i use buckshot.

so buckshot wldnt mess up the fur ?

I have used buckshot in the past as well. Instead of one large hole from a slug you get several medium sized holes. My advice would be to scrap the shotgun and get yourself a .222 or .223 rifle.

i will prbly just use my .22 mossberg, i can drop em at 75 yard

I highly doubt that.

In my opinion the ideal coyote setup would be a .223

it aint hard when u know how to shoot

Never tried a 22 but at 75 yds dont see how it could produce a humane kill. Dont dout you can shoot, just think ya need a little more gun

The .223 is a good round, but I like my .243 because it will stop them in there tracks.

Killed 1 with 1 steel at 40yds duck loads . Only three pellets in the dog really fragile critters .
