We have this small watering hole that the hogs use that you can jump shoot pretty close up about 15-20 yards max. I thinking the 8 gauge with large buckshot like you mentioned might be a good solution. Whats the diameter on the 00000 balls ? Currently I am thinking super buck Ts for the coyotes and the .440 roundballs for the hogs 6 pellets of those should be around 1 3/4 oz roughly .
