Title: Dead Coyote out of an IC turkey choke?
Post by: Mallards Only on March 11, 2011, 09:54:50 AM
Occasionally, I get a stray coyote within range while turkey hunting on the ranch.  Has anyone shot the Hevi Dead Coyote loads out of the Indian Creek turkey choke or do you think it's too tight of a constriction?

My Indian Creek package says to NOT use any shot larger than #2.   Dead Coyote uses T shot which is basically .20" and is therefore larger than #2 shot.

In a word, DO NOT shoot Dead Coyote through your Indian Creek turkey choke.

My Indian Creek BDS .665 choke's packaging said #4 through #9 birdshot.  I also emailed Indian Creek, and they confirmed this.

Don't think I would shoot it out of your turkey choke.  Now I have a IC .710 that I shoot 3.5" #4 Buck and it does a great job.

i agree.
Hevi13 #6's will put a yote on the ground quick if he is within range.
a member here posted that he shot a full grown hog with H13 while turkey hunting. said it dropped in it's tracks. i'm thinking it was close to 25yds

That would fall into the NO GO department.   Can we say possible trip to the E.R.  ? :TrainWreck1:

why do you need to use the dead coyote load in your gun
lead #4's or 5's and all of the HTL loads will kill a coyote graveyard dead at 40-50 yds all day long
