Default Coyote Hunting

Has anyone tried hunting with Parkers while Coyote hunting? The new techonolgy in electronic calls can bring coyotes in real close. Watched a guy on cable lately shooting alot of them with a shotgun.

We gave it a try when I was out in Arizona this past year. We had one close enough but it came in on the other side unfortunately.

They are masters of the wind, my experience is they can come from out of nowhere. I am thinking about taking a parker next week to try this. sometimes they get very close. What type ammo do you think for a 12 ga fluid gun. Buckshot?

I'd go with smaller buckshot (like #4) in a 2 3/4 12 gauge.

I was using a magnum 10 gauge with BB.

The other side of the blind, I would think...I have not hunted coyotes with a Parker (we are blessed in our corner of PA not to see many). Were I to do so, I would use my G grade 3 1/2" magnum 10 toplever 32" fluid steel choked F/F with 2 1/4 oz of coppered #2 lead Federals. While a coyote is a lot more animal than a red fox this load ruins the latter at 50 yards...foxes, we have...

The other side of a big mesquite thicket, Phil was making his stand on the opposite side. He had a quick shot at it with his Winchester but missed unfortunately.

Don: I've used those copper plated #2's in 3" Federal Premium ammo on sandhill cranes when lead was legal. They were wicked deadly; the best lead ammo I think I've ever used. I still have a handful of them somewhere.

I was looking at some 12 ga slug shells in Cabella's . Have been thinking of trying some
12 ga slugs in my CHE rifled barrel Parker. We have coyotes howling in our pasture .
