I'm looking at doing some coyote hunting at close ranges this winter with my shotgun. My initial thoughts were to go with a patternmaster with regular 3" #4 buckshot. Does anyone have any choke/load that has worked well for them? I'm open to suggestions. I know dead coyote is popular but I wonder if it's worth the cost.

4 buck in a full choke is what I would choose for dogs.

It's not exactly the same, but I have used in the past a 12 gauge baikal shotgun with extra full choke.
Using 0 buckshot in the open prairie, I had no problem rolling jack rabbits out to 80 yards.

I am going to give these a try this winter!
3" #4 buck with a full choke patterns good in my 12 gauge out to 60 yards, I have taken 2 yotes with my 20 gauge using a mod choke and #3 buck. Just pattern your gun, if you can get more than 5 pellets in a 10" circle your good to go
WINNER WINNER, Chicken Dinner.
The trick is to get them close enough.
Tight Chokes,

^Yeah, this is good stuff for me too. Used this with riot guns while varmint hunting in the recent past.

I have a Carlson's "Dead Coyote" tube in a Benelli that shoots 2 3/4" 00 and 0000 Buck quite tight to 50 yards. I would say 8-10" group at that range.

They hit like Thor's hammer, LOL!
The 2 3/4 #4 hornady load? Id love to hear some first hand feedback on them.
