Title: shot size
Post by: CoyoteJeff on November 13, 2008, 03:46:33 PM

What size shot do you use for predator hunting in your shotgun ? I ask this because I just got done skinning a fox that I got trapping and someone had at some time shot it with a shot gun. Guessing it was size 4 or 6 bb's I found . Was a well placed shot hit right up front in the neck and should area. How many times have you shot at a fox and then thought how did i miss ?  Or didn't you miss maybe your shot size just didn't do the job because it was to far away or a bb just never hit the right area.

Something to think about the next time your hunting.
