Hey skippy, I dont think I would use that steel shot on a coyote. It isnt heavy enough to get much penetration on a coyote past 25 yards. In Arkansas, unless its deer season, we cant be out in the woods with ANY buckshot at all, but when its deer season I use 3 inch no 4 buck. If you cant use buckshot, you might look into some larger lead loads, or hevishot. Hevishot has a fairly new load out called "dead coyote." Just find some no 2 lead or hevishot, or some BB or BBB. Just dont think steel would give you enough penetration.
