The 10 gauge for hunting predators
« on: October 12, 2013, 12:35:28 AM »
Did you ever pick up a Browning BPS 10 gauge pump?  You need wheels on it to move it around the predator hunting stands.. I have a NEF 10 gauge  single shot hammer shotgun... I do take it from time to time when I hunt coyotes or over snow in twilight conditions...

I got some 10 gauge Deadcoyote shells for it...I think the shot size is the new # 4 buckshot Deadcoyote  10 gauge loads.. Got them at MidwayUSA! Bismuth BB, and of course some lead # 4 shot Federal Premium loads....
It's designated as a turkey gun but not bad for hunting predators... I don't need wheels to move it around stands either...Actually when I have shot it at predators I never feel the kick...

The mfg were making all kind of  10 gauge guns once.. Then people started buying the 12 gauge 3 1/2 shotguns..



Anyone else ever use a 10 gauge shotgun for predators?

My SP-10 is mainly used for geese, and sea ducks!! If I carry a shotgun for predators it's a Remmy 870 3" ;)

A close friend of mine uses his for predators, I think its a pump.... May be a semi, it knocks the heck out of them thats for sure.

I have one but never tried it for preditors yet. Might have to give it a try this fall.
