Smaller shot works well, keep the velocity up for the penetration. 12ga, I shoot a 1 1/4 oz load at 1400 fps, #2's, buffered in an extra full choke. This load with long shot in a RP wad patterns really great and kills well.

Pattern your shotgun, try various screw in chokes, kicks butt kicker and carlson's various chokes work very very well.

Bob cats are easier to kill than coyotes.
