Preferred coyote shotgun

[Dirtybird552]

I'm in the south east, so I'm hunting heavy cover. My shots range from 20-250yards. I'm looking to add a shotgun to my set up. Just wondering what you guys prefer for up close yotes.

I like a 12-gauge using # 4 buck shot in a pump or auto loader. I used a pump out of the plane or helicopter and number four buck was about as good as I found with a modified choke. A beretta 300 is a fine shot gun for the job.

I personally like the idea of a semi-auto turkey type shotgun for predators. I have a Mossberg semi-auto that runs good and I've killed some fox with it, but I can't recommend Mossberg as I had major struggles with their customer service to get the gun in working condition. I'll keep using it as long as it keeps working, but I won't buy another.

Personally I'd look at whatever shotgun brand you like and look at their turkey or home defense models. A bit more handy and don't really need a 28" barrel.

I use a Browning Gold-10 with #4 buck shot. Modified choke patterns well out to about 50 yards. It's heavy but shoots great.

I have 2 dedicated calling shotguns. My favorite is my S3 turkey. It has the pistol grip.i use a predator choke tube. I use different shot depending on what I'm calling

Benelli M1 has been my go-to for birds and predators for 15 years. Only has a 3" chamber but thats all I've needed

Benelli M-4 would work fire I have one with a Aimpoint sight

I shoot more shotguns than rifles and have been using Beretta A400s for most everything now although I grew up pumping 870s. We have some bear and lion issues where my house is so I've kept a short barrel 870 by the bed for that reason. After chasing a bear off the back steps last fall I went on the hunt for a semiautomatic that my wife could shoot easier as her regular shotguns are a A400 and 1100. Ended up getting a Mossberg 940 Pro and really like it. 18" barrel, extended magazine tube, cut out for a micro red dot and shims to adjust the stock for cast and height. After getting it set up to fit and pattern adjusted, this is going to be my main coyote shotgun.

Marocchi combo 12 gauge over .222 is my go to. Accurate out to 300 yards and flat shooting. Bottom barrel is adjustable to make POI same as shotgun. They are hard to find, but I was glad I took the 3 years to get mine.

What ever shotgun you decide on, you might be wise to consider using some type of TSS ammunition. If you do your part, it'll anchor a coyote beyond most ranges when using lead. FWIW.
