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. Destry

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.

'Yotes and Foxes- smart critters indeed
I've been a serious varmint hunter for a long time. We have 'yotes in the suburban areas of West MI now- they'll snag your pet persian or chichuaha off the deck come evenings.
First- calling and decoying- Don't over call- your set up and camo and working around shifting wind conditions is critical. No wounded rabbit or cat or other "hor's d-euver" for the coyote or fox squeals at high volume or for any measurable period of time. A decoy can work, as in hunting turkeys, but coyotes and fox are mainly scent oriented creatures. I usually hunt with a partner- my son-in-law is "hooked" on varmint hunting now- woodchucks in the summer, fox and coyotes in winter and spring- although we shot 12 fox on private land (where it is legal with landowner OK) this past summer, evenings while shooting woodchucks as well- Right place, right time, right arsenal-- Winter we use one scoped varmint rifle (22-250 or .243 Win) and we like Hornady moly-tipped loads, and one 12 gauge shotgun- mod or full and the copper plated Turkey loads (not legal for waterfowling) are great. OO buck will ream a fox or coyote a new one, but if you want to sell the pelts, No. 4 buck or the coppered turkey loads are the "ticket" Using a Parker 12 or 10 would be a great treat- sort of like a "blast from the past" vis a vis Wm. Harden Foster's saga of the family "little gun" the fabled 16 hammer Parker- I shot another coyote from a tree stand opening day of our deer season, the private farm (260 acres Mecosta Co.) is adjacent to a sheep ranch- coyotes like lamb chops, but a 180 grain Core-Lokt from a older M70 Win makes "good ones out of bad ones" very quickly--
