Big difference between bird shot and buck shot. Buck shot on Yotes out to 'bout 20-25 yards is a lot of fun. Them Yotes jump, bite, and then just pile up. Shoot 'em farther than that with buck shot, and you're just cruel, 'cause they tend to jump, bite, and not pile up...wander off, suffer, and die. Past 25 yards, do the Yote a favor and use a Foster...bang, flop.
