Bubba your choice of firearm for deepwoods or heavy cover hunting is pefect. The choke will work great with the ammo your using too...The Hevishot hits hard even in the smaller shot size... The T will be perfect for coyotes and it will anchor them a bit longer distances too...
Coyotes are easy to call if they are there...Thats what you need to do in Pa...Just find out where they are holding up....Call but don't overcall and success can be yours...

Thanks Uncle Buck, the only down fall is my Rem only takes the 2-3/4 shell, which I believe is the 00Buck shell, From what I hear the T is the best, but I havent found anyone who cares the T in 2-3/4...Or maybe I'm not looking hard enough!!

No you should be able to get the 2 3/4 # 4 buckshot in Remington shells.  I checked the Hevishot Deadcoyote site out..Looks like they no longer make it in the 2 3/4 inch Deadcoyote.  Um get yourself some # BB Bismuth in the 2 3/4 inch shell or use the Remington # 4 buckshot in the 2 3/4 length...


this # 2 shot lead will also kill coyotes, fox, bobcat.  It comes in  2 3/4 lead..

Nice set up. Some people do not like the heavy guns. But I like them also. That should be a tack driver for   Predators
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

Savage Predator Hunter in .223, really likes Black Hills reman 60 gr. Vmax, topped with a Leupold 4X12. Either a Harris 25" bipod or some Stoney shooting sticks for the steady work. Primos 250 max for now...

870 Remington Express with Knoxx Stock, Mesa rail mount, EoTech 512 and a extended Dead Coyote choke..big fan of 3" #4 Buckshot.

Im just getting into the predator/varmint hunting world and am building a Shaw rifle in 17 rem. I'd also like to build a rifle with the 5.7x28 if I get more serious about predator hunting

I've been using a Browning BPS 12 gauge w/ Carlson Dead coyote choke and Hevi shot Dead coyote 3 1/2 inch T ammo. I also use a Rem 788 .223 w/ weaver 3x9x40 Gun has a sweet Canjar trigger and literally shoot one on top of another at 100 yards. shoots Hornady 55 gr V-max beautifully.
