Hit a virgin piece of ground a bit later and was able to get a few to play the game. These 2 were really young and small. Didn't seem like there were many older or larger coons in this property.

Shotgun all of your called coons? Looks like Nitro Mags in the buttstock carrier in other pics.

Assume #4s?

Yep #4's....I'm not picky though. I do run a Carlson's Coyote choke....It's designed for 4 buck and other buckshot, but it patterns well with #4's, just a little low. I have to remember to "cover them up" on the longer shots.
