ok has any one ever called coyotes in and shot them with shotguns and what size shot do you use or the best load to use?

I rolled one up using my 870 super mag while turkey hunting last fall. He came into my turkey calls.. I got him at about 15 yards. My first shot wasnt too good, cliped him in the butt . But I finished him off with a quick follow up headshot. Used 3 1/2 inch remington nitro #5s turkey loads. Probably not the recomended shot gun shell, but it worked for me.

i've seen many rolled with the Hevi-Shot "Dead Coyote" loads in T shot out of turkey guns, deadly from point blank to 75 yards or more

Sure have! Killed a lot of them, including the one in my avatar with 3 inch mag #4 turkey loads. I love to hunt in the thick stuff!!

where can a guy buy 3and a half t shot? will triple bbb work in black cloud? or should i stick to lead only?

Sorry its not a good pic,took it with my phone. But heres a female that came at the run and swerved at 12 feet. Taken with Ithaca riot 12 gauge (nicknamed Al as in capone ),full choke,double 00 buck.

we dont have many coyotes here were i live but near thick timber and the rest is open farm ground. far northeast iowa has alot more to offer. i guess that is were to go. does anyone know if it screws up the coyote hunting just after the shotgun season on deer? or doesnt it realy matter to them? i know they have more to eat cuz all the gut piles,but dont realy know if that matters.

Yes quite a few. I use my turkey loads #5's win extended range 3". Also use 2's and 4's. Prefer the 2's though. We usually carry rifle in a 222,223 even a 243. And we alway's take a shotgun. You never know how fast or close they may come in. A shotgun will put em down in a hurry under 40 yd's. Oh and with an extra full choke also. Good luck whack a few.

When I carry a shotgun I carry an old 12 gauge 2 3/4 side by side. An I shot them with a 4 buck. My first dog I ever shot was with a shot gun an I folled him at about 10 feet out in eastern colorado it was cool should of been there.

ive done it with a remington 870, 2 3/4" buckshot

If you are shooting a shotgun at very close range, just about any shot size will work. By close range, I'm talking about withing 15 yards. Most of the coyotes I have killed with a shotgun have been killed that close, all the way down to within 2 or 3 yards. Make sure you have a pretty tight choke, no matter what the distance. I have never shot a coyote with a shotgun past about 30 yards, but I'm certain the HevyShot, say 5 shot or bigger, would work. It sure works on turkeys.
