Pick the load/choke for this pic

[Clark]

Daylight pigs.

870 Magnum, 28"

Skeet, mod, full and kicks industries Gobblin Thunder .665 are the choke options.

I'll be in a Krivoman blind at 12 yards and I'm looking to do as much damage to as many as possible. I figure I can get 3 shots off before they hit the brush.

Which choke and 3" shell option would kill the sow and roll the most little ones?

[trjones87]

trying to get rid of them or eat them?

[OBU13DAD]

grenade?

[Clark]

I want them eradicated and anything I kill is coyote food.
And I don't want to kill 2, I want to kill 8 or 10 in 1 hunt.

skeet, 3 1/2" magnum, #4 buck (not bird). Lotta pellets in that, all equal to a .22 rf. And if you think the #4 is too small for you, go with #1 buck instead, even though the 4's are going to hit hard at 12 yards. #1 pellets are nearly as big as 00, but more of them. A magnum load of #1 would be hard to beat. Lots harder to find, but worth it IMO.

(Something tells me Clark is really mad at those hogs)

Go get'em!

[Jethro]

And I have a Hawglite (red LED's with solar charger) you can borrow if you need too, and a second shooter if needed.

[bluelund79]

Mod, #4 buckshot.

[ItsLeo]

Hevi-shot Dead Coyote Load plus skeet choke.

Or as stated above #4 buck plus modified.

I had three people sit in one of my blinds a couple weeks ago with shotguns. I believe they were using buckshot, and they took out 7 in short order. I would recommend having a second shooter if you want to put a dent in them.

Good advice. Pull the plug out of the shotgun too and fill that baby up.

skeet, #4 buck, pull the plug, and blast them

At 12 yards, even with a skeet choke, the pattern is not going to spread much so you're only going to hit 1 or 2 on the first shot so I would go with the 00 for the first shell. I would follow that with #1 buck so you can put a lot of lead in the air. I would use the mod choke. I've hunted deer in parts of NC where you're required to use shotguns and found that anything smaller than #1 won't reliably put down deer. But, since you just want to kill the pigs and are going to leave them for the coyotes, the #4 buck will work fine.

Shoot mamma first and unleash on the little ones! I'd dig me a post hole off to the side and fill it with corn and jello. Let em find it for a couple of days. They will circle around it all trying to jam their heads in it and you might get more fatal hits with the first shot. Sounds like fun!
