hevi-shot "dead coyote"

Postby quackalot » Fri Feb 08, 2008 8:55 pm

I was thinking about getting a couple of boxes of the 3.5 T shot for some passing geese, did anyone get a chance to use any this year on geese? How far could you comfortably shoot a goose with it? Just wandering if on those foggy morns when the geese are flying low, if the dead coyote will take them out?

It is an expensive bullet to take out a goose with, but it will do it to 60+ yards easy.

no. 2 or no. 4 hevi shot will take down a goose about as far as you can hit one..... there aren't too many pellets in the dead coyote load and that pattern gets kinda sparse.... I'd give no. 4 or no.2 hevi's a shot heck try BB's if you want....they are some pretty good goose poison....
