Anyone use thier turkey slayer shotgun for coyote hunting and such?

Well my turkey guns r what ever scsttergun I take out. But my sxs baikal wacks song dogs with bbs or #4 buck. My 535 mossberg 24" rifled barrel drills holes thru coyotes with 2 3/4" challenger slugs. Although I haven't taken one with a bow yet I've given a couple a haircut. Coyotes are thin and heavy pellet or cloud of pellets to the chest or neck lays them down. I prefer #4 buck if shots are to be 60 yards or less. 7 / 8oz #2 if shots are to be real close like ambushing frozen ditches and ponds.
Model 12 pump
Ithaca 37 pump
Mossberg pumps
Various sxs f/m choked
2506 for serious coyote take down power
 
I use the Hevi-Shot "Dead Coyote" choke in my 870, which is a .660" constriction, out of a 23" bbl., pretty close to turkey I think. Federal Premium 3" 1 7/8 oz. BB copper plated is deadly out to 60 yards or so, but you don't really want to be closer than 25 yards or the fur flies.
3" lead in 1 7/8 loads of #2 or BB is getting very tough to find though, I don't reload shotgun ammo and don't like the Challenger stuff.
