    Spray a shot of WD-40 down the muzzle before you shoot and you’ll gain substantial range with a tighter pattern.

      Within 30 to 35 yards and shoot it in the head and neck area. 3" lead BB or #4 buck would do the trick a lot better. It's probably gonna run after you shoot it. At least a little ways.

      You're definitely gonna want to shoot it in the face and empty the gun until it stops spinning or running.

          3.5” 00 Buck will get their attention I can promise you. Let em have it, then have it some more.

              3 inch number 2 steel through a IM Benelli Nova has been deadly to several coyotes that thought my goose decoys looked good enough to eat. Most shots have been 30-50 yards. None have got away that made it that close.

                Best I have used is #1 magnum buckshot. I was shooting them from an airplane and it was the best at the longer distances.

                  I killed 2 while dove hunting near El Paso one time. 5 rounds of 20 gauge 7.5's did the trick. When I was calling them I used 000 buck on them and never had any issues. I wasn't hunting for fur though.

                    Yes, it’s not super predictable though.

                          called one in across the Rio from Mexico last year on a duck hunt. 30 yard shot dead with steel 3" steel #6 full choke. Tracked about 50 yards and finished him off with a PDX but didnt need it.

                            Shoot the same choke you would sling those loads at geese with. Closer the better, but I would be willing to shoot out to 50yd with those 3.5” shells if that’s as close as you could get. No matter what the range, follow up multiple times, even if you dont think it is necessary.

                              I'll assume you meant #4 buckshot. Inside 40 yd works great. Have done it lots.

                              If actually #4 birdshot, inside 20 yd I would guess, haven't ever tried...because...it never occurred to me.

                                Ive killed plenty with #4 and #6 birdshot at 30-50 yds with mod chokes.
