They are still legal for turkeys in some states and I am thinking about using mine for a deer drive. RST told me they are working on 8 gauge shells

They’re not legal for deer or turkey in the Old Dominion but you can bet your backside if I ever acquire an 8 gauge and am still hunting I’ll kill a deer with it . Regardless of what the state game department might say , actually I could use one when we have Damage Control Permits for deer or bear and it would be 100% legal .

I was thinking it would be interesting to use the 8 ga for coyote . Predator hunting doesnt really seem to be a thing here , but alot of hunters out in the midwest use the 10 and 12 gauges for coyotes . |

Would love to use the 8 on coyotes.

a load of bb s in the 8 gauge would dispatch a coyote in a heartbeat....in a full choke gun i would think it to take a coyote at 60 yards easily.....charlie

I shot a Fox at about 50 yards with steel BBs in my AYA ten from an upstairs window. He dropped like a rock, but I gave him a second shot in case he revived while I was coming downstairs. Our RSA has a bait pole with space for a dead duck at the top, but set out at a range for a rifle shot, not a shotgun shot. I'm not sure what the range limit is for a shotgun against a fox or a coyote. However, I have shot 60 yard patterns with a tightly bored Fox with 1 1/4 ounces of lead #4s that would have put a bunch shot into a fox.

Well, if we’re to believe WHF, a 16 gauge Parker T/A hammer gun can do it at extreme range.

I have been researching what game is legal with the 8 ga so when I get one I know what it can be used to hunt . Turkey and other big game as far as I can tell . Coyote and other predator or pest like hogs , and I think pheasants as well .
Im curious to see what shot sizes RST is going to offer in their 8 ga loads . |
